LOW-CARB TEMPEH BACON AND TOFU EGG SANDWICH

Cook Time: 15 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Serving Size: 1 sandwich
Total Servings: 1

Ingredients:

1 slice of tofu, cut in circles
4 slices tempeh
1 slice vegan cheese
or 2 tbsp grated vegan cheese
2 slices low-carb bread
1/8 tsp black salt
1/4 tsp tumeric
1 tbsp oil

For tempeh marinade:

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp truvia brown sugar
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Press the tofu for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cut four thin slices of tempeh.
3. In a small container, whisk together the tempeh bacon marinade ingredients and allow the tempeh to marinate for 10 minutes.
4. Once the tofu is pressed, cut a rectangular slice. I cut the block by thirds (where I can get three slices from each block).
5. Use a small cup to create a circular shape from the slice of tofu. Reserve the remaining tofu for a scramble or other dishes.
6. Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the oil.
7. When the oil is shimmering, add the tofu slice and sprinkle it with black salt and turmeric.
8. Cook the tofu for 3 minutes, then flip.
9. Add the vegan cheese on top of the tofu, cover the pan, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the cheese is melted.
10. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
11. Add the marinated tempeh to the same pan and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
12. Toast two pieces of low-carb bread.
13. Assemble the sandwich by placing the tofu with melted cheese (cheese side down) on one slice of bread.
14. Add the tempeh slices and top with the second piece of bread.
    
    Note: Adjust the marinade and tofu egg seasoning ratios if making more than one sandwich.
