Ingredients
For the Sausage
- 1 cup water
- 2 TBSP maple syrup
- 2 TBSP low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste (I used 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper)
- Pinch of cayenne (optional)
- 1 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP, see above for info)
- 1 cup mashed chickpeas (or any bean or lentil)
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup flaxmeal
For the Tofu "Egg"
- 1 block (14oz) Super Extra Firm Tofu (usually the one that comes in a vacuum-sealed package)
- 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp water
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast
- Pepper to taste
For the Sandwich
- English Muffins, toasted
- Avocado

Directions
Prepare the Sausage
In a medium-sized bowl, make a broth by combining all the sausage ingredients, except the TVP, chickpeas, oat flour, and flax meal.
Add the TVP to the broth and let sit for 5 minutes, until it absorbs the water. You can start the Tofu “Egg” while you wait.
Once the TVP rehydrates, transfer to a food processor, being careful not to add excess broth. Add the mashed chickpeas, oat flour, and flax meal. Pulse until well combined, but with some texture remaining.
Form the mixture into patties and heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Once the pan is hot, cook the sausage patties 2-4 minutes on each side, until golden. If you prefer to bake the sausages, cook them on a lined baking sheet for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare the Tofu "Egg"
Slice the tofu into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick pieces that will fit on your English muffins. Heat a pan to medium heat with the tofu slices.
Mix the remaining Tofu “Egg” ingredients in a bowl. Spoon half the mixture onto the tofu and spread it around to coat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, flip, spread on the remaining seasoning, then cook another 3-5 minutes.Â
Assemble your Breakfast Sandwich
Toast the English muffins and prepare your toppings.Â
Layer on the vegan sausage, tofu egg, and desired toppings. Enjoy immediately!
