When our adult daughter makes it home for a visit, we busy ourselves in the kitchen making all of her favorite vegan meals, and tempeh bacon is always on the list for breakfast. Later in the day, I’ve seen her grab some off of the plate in the refrigerator for a snack.

Smoked tempeh is great on these English Breakfast Muffins and on Smoked Tempeh Sandwich (T.L.T.) – Tempeh, Lettuce, & Tomato too!

Smoked Tempeh Breakfast Sandwich

Yield: 4 servings

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

No greasy, artery-clogging bacon and eggs here. Only healthy deliciousness. Move over fast food drive through, we've got plant-strong Vegan Breakfast Sandwich only here!

Ingredients

1 8 oz package tempeh, found in many grocery stores
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
2 tsp liquid smoke
3 Tbsp maple syrup
spinach or kale leaves
low-fat eggless mayo, recipe link below
mustard, (optional)
4 English muffins, whole grain, suggestion below

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, and maple syrup and mix well.
Slice tempeh into strips. Place slices into mixture and allow to marinate. The longer, the stronger the flavor will be. I like to leave it in the refrigerator overnight if possible, but at least 30 minutes is necessary.
Add tempeh strips to a frying pan with a little bit of the marinade liquid and cook over medium-high heat until crispy on one side. Turn and brown on the other side. Add more of the marinade and cook until caramelized. About 5 minutes each side is a reasonable estimate. If baking in the oven, cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Toast your English muffins (or don't). Add a little Eggless Low-Fat Mayo, mustard, and kale (or spinach).
Add tempeh bacon and serve.
