This vegan tofu Benedict is a perfect brunch idea. I’m using silken tofu, which practically melts in your mouth, but regular tofu also works well.
I would make it on Christmas morning if craving a savoury breakfast. Be generous with the sauce; it tastes delicious!
To make vegan Hollandaise, blend everything in a high-speed blender until very smooth. Heat the sauce slightly on the stove to thicken it.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Cut tofu in half lengthwise. Then, using a cookie cutter, make two 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place in a pan and fry for 2-3 minutes. Flip, sprinkle with Kala Namak and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Toast English muffins or your favourite bread.
Put the toast on a plate, layer it with tempeh bacon and tofu egg, and top it with vegan Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and chopped green onions.
The recipe for tempeh bacon can be found here.
