Sammich Rival!

My family is big on eggs benedict, I never tried it because the mere thought of it made me gag. Especially the hollandaise sauce. I finally decided to give the vegan version a go after being bored of my regular breakfast rotation.

The first version was not too shabby, but the last attempt was phenomenal. It's usually made with spinach, but I swapped that for avocado. It definitely rivals but not quite overtakes the bbq tofu sandwich.

~~~~~Recipe~~~~~

Cut tofu in 1/2 inch slices.

Tofu Marinade
• olive oil
• apple cider vinegar
• salt

Put marinade in a baking pan and press slices of tofu into it.
Flip tofu over and do the same on the other side.

Bake for 20 minutes, then flip over and bake for another 10 (or until getting crispy-ish).

While it's baking, create the vegandaise sauce. Adjust ingredients to suit your palate.

In a sauce pan, toss in
• vegan mayo
• lemon juice
• dash of worchester
• nutritional yeast
• turmeric
• tarragon
• teeny bit of cayenne pepper

Thin it out with a bit of water.

Slice up some sourdough or ciabatta bread, tomatoes and avocado.

Put it all together and dig in. Yum.
