For Assembly

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the mushrooms, slicing the red bell pepper, and thinly slicing and halving the onion.
  2. Wash the fresh baby spinach under cold water and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, combine the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, cornstarch, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the tofu mixture.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the chopped mushrooms, sliced bell pepper, and onion to the skillet, cooking until tender and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the tofu mixture into the skillet and stir well, cooking until it thickens, approximately 7-10 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving
  1. Slice and toast the English muffins until golden brown.
  2. Layer vegan cheese on the bottom half of each muffin, followed by a generous scoop of the tofu-vegetable mixture, topped with a vegan sausage patty and the muffin top.
  3. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious creation.

Notes

Start by pressing the silken tofu to remove excess moisture. Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking. Broil the assembled sandwiches for a couple of minutes for a crispy texture if desired.
