Tofu Breakfast Sandwiches
These Tofu Breakfast Sandwiches are the perfect breakfast on the go. Layered with seasoned tofu, tempeh bacon and spinach!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu drained & pressed
- 2 tablespoons oil I used avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- spray oil
- 3 ounces tempeh bacon cut in 8 strips
- 4 english muffins toasted
- spinach
Instructions
- Once the tofu is drained & pressed, cut it into 4 rectangles (lengthwise). Use a biscuit cutter to cut each rectangle into a circle (see notes).
- Add the oil & dry seasonings to a shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Gently dredge both sides of the tofu pieces in the marinade and set aside - if you have the time to let them sit and marinate that is even better!
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the tempeh bacon and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the tofu pieces to the same skillet and cook for a couple minutes on each side, or until heated through and slightly browned. Remove from the skillet.
- To each english muffin add a piece of tofu, 2 pieces of tempeh and some spinach. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- I used a biscuit cutter to make the tofu the same size as the english muffins. Don't throw away the excess - I crumbled mine and cooked it in the leftover marinade after removing the circles from the pan. Perfect for a tofu scramble!
- If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can just cut the tofu into squares.
- FOR MEAL PREP: Let the sandwiches cool completely, then wrap each one tightly in parchment paper. Place the sandwiches into a gallon-sized freezer bag, push out as much air a possible and seal tightly. Store in the fridge and eat within a week OR keep in the freezer for up to a month.
- TO REHEAT: allow the sandwiches to thaw in the fridge overnight. Keep wrapped in parchment paper and microwave for 1 minute or until warmed through. OR place in a 375-degree oven (still wrapped in parchment paper) and heat about 15-18 minutes or until warmed through.
