Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bagel
  • Handful Fresh Spinach Leaves

Pumpkin seed vegan "Egg"

  • 1/2 Cup Pepitas aka shelled pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Salt (Kala Namak) gives signature "eggy"-y flavor
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
  • Pinch Black Pepper
  • 3/4 Cup Water

Crispy Breaded Tofu

  • 1/2 Block Super Extra Firm Tofu sliced in 3. I use soy free Fava bean tofu by Big Mountain Foods
  • 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 1.5 Teaspoons Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Teaspoon Poultry seasoning this has no poultry
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Pinch Black Pepper
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 Cup Plant Milk

Instructions
 

  • Pat your tofu dry (make sure you're using super extra firm tofu, this has the most protein amount!) and prepare one bowl with your plant milk
    Combine your your flour and dry seasonings for the breaded mixture into another bowl, you should have two bowls now.
  • Cut your tofu block into 3 thin slices. Dredge the tofu into the plant milk first, then the flour second making sure the entire surface is covered with flour. Do this with all three pieces.
    Now, spray your tofu with oil and cook in the air fryer at 400 F/ 204 C for 15-20 minutes. (can bake in the oven at 400 F/204 C for about 20 - 25 minutes give or take)
  • Cook your pumpkin seeds (pepitas) in boiling water for 10 minutes.
    Once it is cooked, washed it 2-3 times. **Make sure the pumpkin seeds have cooled down before touching them** This is to get the green skin off so the "eggs" don't look like green eggs and ham from Dr. Seuss!
  • Combine the cooked and rinsed pumpkin seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, black pepper, black salt, and water into a blender and blend until well combined and smooth. If you don't think the color is yellow enough, feel free to add more turmeric.
  • Now, put a pan on low heat and pour the "egg" mixture in. Once the mixture starts to bubble, stir it around the pan.
    The "eggs" will be ready in about 3-5 minutes. They should be fluffy and have slightly firmed up.
  • Toast yor bagel to your preferred setting and grab a plate. Assemble the sandwich with your crispy tofu, vegan "eggs", and fresh spinach leaves. Feel free to add some hot sauce or vegan cheese, it would taste delicious here!
    Dig in and enjoy!
