Total Time 30 minutes
Course Breakfast
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 28 oz Firm Tofu
  • 6 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp Black Salt
  • ½ tsp Turmeric
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Pink Salt or to taste
  • 4 tsp Nutritional Yeast

Hollandaise Sauce

  • ¼ cup Plant-based Milk
  • 3 oz Silken Tofu
  • tsp Black Salt
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • tsp Mustard Powder
  • tsp Turmeric Powder
  • tsp Black Pepper
  • tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Vegan Butter melted

Assemble

  • 2 English Muffins sliced
  • 4 pieces Sun-Dried Tomatoes diced
  • 2 Avocados medium-size, sliced
  • 4 slices Fresh Tomato

Garnish

  • Chives

Instructions
 

  • Cut tofu in half as shown in the picture above. Place a round glass on top of one piece and cut tofu around the edge in a circle. Repeat with the other tofu half.
  • In a small mixing bowl add four tbsp of olive oil, black salt, turmeric, black pepper, pink salt and nutritional yeast. Mix well together. Brush this mixed seasoning on the circled tofu, covering all areas.
  • Heat a medium size skittle on low-medium heat. Brush two tablespoon of olive oil over the pan, covering all areas. Add seasoned tofu and cook until golden brown (about 7 to 10 minutes on each side). Remove from heat.

Hollandaise Sauce:

  • Blend everything (except butter) together in a blender.
  • While blending, slowly add melted butter. This prevents the butter from separating after blending, retaining a smooth texture.
  • Add salt, pepper or lemon to taste.

Assemble:

  • Toast sliced English muffins, then lay flat all four pieces. Spread diced sun-dried tomatoes and add a layer of avocado and tomato slices to each.
  • Top with cooked tofu. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over each piece. Garnish and serve immediately.

Notes

This hollandaise sauce can be refrigerated up to two weeks.
Wondering how to use up the remainder of that tofu brick? It can easily be used for Tofu Taco Crumbles, Breakfast Tofu Scramble or Sesame Fried Rice.
