Ingredients
For the Vegan Sausage Patty
- 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 dry textured vegetable protein ("TVP", see above for info)
- 1 cup mashed chickpeas (or any bean or lentil)
- 1/2 cup oat flour or chickpea flour (or any flour will work)
- 1/4 cup flaxmeal
For the Tofu "Egg"
- 1 block (14oz) Super Extra Firm Tofu (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 Breakfast Sandwich
- English Muffins, toasted (GF if needed)
- Avocado
- Vegan Cheese
- Tomato
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
-
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.
- To 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.
-
Toast the English muffins and prepare your toppings. Then, layer on the vegan sausage, tofu egg, and desired toppings. Enjoy!
