Directions
-
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan over high heat; cook onion, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until browned. Transfer to a food processor with cooked rice, beans, paprika, onion and garlic powders, barbecue sauce, soy sauce and flour; season. Pulse until mixture comes together.
-
Step 2
Line a tray with plastic wrap. With damp hands, shape 1/3-cup amounts of mixture into six 8 cm patties. Place on tray; freeze for 20 minutes or until firm.*
-
Step 3
Pat tofu dry with paper towel. Cut tofu in half horizontally to make two 1 1/2 cm thick slices. (Take care with cutting the tofu as it can be soft.) Using an 8 cm cutter, carefully cut one round from each tofu slice.** Combine vegan mayonnaise, turmeric, and kala namak in a small bowl.
-
Step 4
Preheat grill (broiler) on high. Place muffin halves, cut-side up, on an oven tray; place under grill until lightly toasted.
-
Step 5
Heat half the extra oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly dust patties with extra flour. Cook patties for 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Top toasted muffin bases with patties and a slice of cheese; place under grill for 30 seconds or until melted.
-
Step 6
Heat remaining oil in same pan; cook tofu rounds for 2 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden. Place on cheese-topped patties.
-
Step 7
Place a tablespoon of turmeric mayo in the centre of each tofu round to resemble an egg yolk. Add tomato sauce to taste and top with muffin lid.
-
Step 8
Serve the breakfast muffin as is or plated with sliced avocado, baby spinach leaves and hash browns!
Hot tip!
*This recipe makes 6 patties but only uses 2 in these breakfast muffins; freeze the remaining 4 patties in an airtight container between sheets of baking paper for up to 2 months. To use, cook from frozen.
**Tofu off-cuts can be added to a fruit smoothie for an added protein boost!
