Jump to RecipeThis sandwich utilizes tofu, that has been creatively prepared to resemble egg in both taste and texture alike, as the main ingredient to build upon. It’s important to use extra firm tofu here to ensure that egg white texture. The flavor of egg is brought in with the addition of kala namak, or black salt, which is a volcanic rock salt. Kala namak has a sulphur-like, pungent quality that provides a taste reminiscent of egg. You can certainly choose to leave this ingredient out if that isn’t appealing to you, however it is a key component if that egg flavor is what you’re looking for.
The mashed avocado is another key ingredient to the perfection of this breakfast sandwich. The creamy texture and flavor of avocado, combined with the tofu, really brings things together as a substitution for egg yolk and cheese. The mashed avocado is seasoned with nutritional yeast and some hot sauce to enhance the flavor.
The result is a hearty breakfast, or any time of day, sandwich that is leaving out all of the artery clogging, disease causing, animal harming ingredients and replacing them with health promoting, disease preventing, nutrient dense foods that will fuel your body and satisfy your taste buds.
