Ingredients
  

English Muffins

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Breakfast Sausage

  • 1 cup of TVP
  • 160 grams of Veggie Broth
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp crushed fennel seed
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 20 grams refined coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Molasses
  • 6 grams methylcellulose

Tofu Egg

  • 1 block of Firm Tofu pressed for 20 minutes
  • Few shakes of nutritional yeast
  • Few shakes of garlic salt
  • Pinch of black salt to taste

Instructions
 

English Muffins

  • Melt your vegan butter and let it sit so it cools down.
  • Combine plant based milk and water in a bowl. Heat up to 95° F.
  • Add yeast and combine. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.
  • Once yeast mixture has set for 10 minutes, pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Then add the melted vegan butter.
  • Mix thoroughly. It will be shaggy, but add more liquid if it is too crumbly.
  • Knead it on a floured surface for about 5 - 10 minutes, or until it's well combined and smooth, then roll it into a ball and add it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise at room temp for about an hour.
  • Punch down your dough, then roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/2" thick.
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut out your muffins. I was able to get 8. Re-roll the excess dough after you've cut out your first set of muffins and then cut out some more with the excess.
  • Place them on a corn-meal dusted baking sheet, then cover (ideally with an identical baking sheet) and let rise for 30 mins - 1 hour.
  • After they've risen enough, melt some vegan butter in a pan and grill them on both sides until nice and golden brown!

Breakfast Sausage

  • Combine TVP and broth in a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the molasses and coconut oil with the TVP mixture. You can either melt the coconut oil or leave it crumbly for fat pockets.
  • Add in seasonings and mix thoroughly.
  • Add in methylcellulose and stir to combine.
  • Then add in water a little bit at a time and stir to combine. You want to add enough water until you get a ground beef type consistency.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Press about 3 oz of the mixture into a patty.

Tofu Egg

  • After tofu has been pressed, cut out a cylinder using a cookie cutter.
  • Then slice the cylinder in thirds so you wind up with 3 egg patties.
  • Add the nutritional yeast, garlic salt and black salt to a small dish, then dip your tofu egg in it, covering one side in the mixture.

Homemade Sandwich

  • Melt some vegan butter in a pan. Split your English muffin, then add it as well as the tofu slice, TVP sausage patty and then grill until cooked through.
  • Melt the cheese by adding it to the bottom muffin, add a little water to the pan, then cover to steam.
  • Once everything is cooked through, assemble sandwich and ENJOY!
