Sometimes my mind takes me on crazy rides! I honestly don't know how I end up making these things!
I've been to McDonald's less than 5 times in my life and I've never had a breakfast item. But I found myself wanting a McMuffin! Maybe it was at the back of my mind because we had some English muffins that needed u. After a quick Google search I knew what goes in a McMuffin so I was ready to start :grin:
2 English muffins, sliced and heated on a pan with 1 tsp vegan butter
2 slices vegan bacon/ham (I used VBites pepperoni)
2 slices violife cheese (or any other vegan cheese)
2 vegan eggs
The eggs were the main experiment of this dish. I used:
200g firm tofu, drained and squeezed to get as much water out
A pinch of salt
A few tsp of unsweetened plant milk
Eggy yolk (I used around 1/4 of Vegan Toast Dipping Sauce)
Blend together the tofu, salt and plant milk until a thick creamy paste. I used a pancake silicone mold in a frying pan and cooked on medium heat until it kept its shape and was golden brown. Once cool enough to handle I scooped out some of its centre to accommodate the egg yolk.
In a pan melt the butter and placed the sliced muffins cut side down. Once golden and crispy turn and lower the heat. Place your cheeze, the "egg" white and fill its centre by spooning some yolk dip. Top with the pepperoni slice and the other half of the muffin. In retrospect I realised I assembled in the wrong order so follow the order you prefer :blush:
It gets quite messy to eat so I suggest cutting in half. If you have leftover yolk dip you can dunk your McMuffin in it :grin:

Thank you, I hope you'll like it :blush: :two_hearts: The tofu takes a little while to solidify, I also covered it with a lid for a while to help the cooking process, so be patient with it :blush:
Looks wonderful! :yum:
Aww thanks Sid :heart: 🤗
Have you ever tried those breakfast English muffins from plant power ?! It’s pretty similar to what you’re doin & it’s so bomb :heart_eyes: :ok_hand:
No I haven't. Is it a restaurant or a product/blog? I'd love to try it if you have the recipe :grin:
