Is this tofu breakfast sandwich gluten-free?

Yes, the tofu and romaine are gluten-free. If you wish to keep it that way use gluten-free bread.

Can I store the tofu breakfast patty in the refrigerator?

Yes, this is an excellent meal for making ahead of time so you can eat through the week. Make the tofu patty but don't assemble the sandwich. Place the patties in an airtight container for up to 7 days in the fridge .

I like to toss the tofu patties onto a hot grill pan after baking to give it those grill marks. It's not necessary but looks really cool.

Description

The best vegan breakfast sandwich! Seasoned tofu, grilled romaine, smashed avocado, and thick slices of tomato on a whole-grain bun. Packed with protein, filling, and delicious!

Ingredients

Scale

1 block of extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
Black pepper and salt to taste
2 whole-grain buns
4–6 leaves of romaine lettuce
Dressing or spread of choice: cashew mayo, tofu mayonnaise, Mississippi Comeback Sauce
2–3 slices of tomato

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375˚F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the tofu and press it for 10-20 minutes by wrapping it in a paper towel and setting something with a little weight on top. Then, slice the tofu in half width-wise creating two large equal pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, and pepper. Place the tofu slices on a plate and cover evenly with the spice mixture.
Add the tofu slices to the lined baking pan and cook for 15 minutes then flip and cook for 15 more minutes.
While the tofu is cooking, cut the romaine lettuce into thin strips. Heat a separate grill pan over medium heat and add the lettuce. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until slightly charred.
Toast the buns in a toaster or on a separate pan.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading your dressing of choice on one slice of bread, followed by the tomato slices, grilled tofu, and grilled romaine lettuce. Add more sauce and top with the other bun.
Serve the sandwich immediately and enjoy!
