How Do I Make Vegan Eggs Benedict?
- Cut the tofu into 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick slices- my pack of tofu made 4 thick slices. Set aside.
- In a medium dish, place the tofu slices and add the garlic powder, corn starch, and olive oil. Gently toss so the tofu is coated in the spice and oil mixture, but the slices do not break.
- To bake the tofu slices in the oven: preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the tofu slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway.
- To air fry the tofu slices: preheat the air fryer. Cook them at 370 for 24 minutes, flipping half way.
- Toast your English muffin or bread, and add a few fresh spinach leaves to each half. Top each English muffin half with one tofu patty. Drizzle on the vegan hollandaise sauce, and top with fresh parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste, enjoy!
