Happy Monday Snow Day from Philadelphia! Although I am sick and tired of this cold weather I am never sick and tired of snow days! I will be spending my day watching movies on the couch and stuffing my face with leftovers and maybe a few girl scout cookies.
I was so excited that I could make a real breakfast rather than just the normal milk and cereal. I sure do miss the days of bacon and eggs (more the bacon then the eggs). This past weekend I went to Whole Foods and bought some meatless sausage patties. I know I know, that sounds disgusting and probably isn't the same as the real thing but to my surprise they were pretty darn tasty. It might also be because I mixed it with two of my favorite vegan foods, potatoes and onions!
I have made many variations of this recipe and I thought that the sausage would work wonders in it this time around. I thought about putting some vegan cheese in it, but it didn't even need it! I hope that you can whip this up at home and think it is just as delicious as I do. I almost went for a second helping but I had to stop myself so I could share with my roommate.
There isn't really a name for it so you can be free to make a name up for yourself! You will definitely want to keep this handy in case you ever have to entertain some vegans for brunch.
1/2 of a Potato (or one whole small potato. I used what we had, a russet)
1/4 Sweet Onion
2 365 Frozen Meatless Sausage Patties
1/2 block of Extra Firm Tofu
2ish Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
Chili Powder
Garlic Powder
1. Dice up the potato into smallish cubes (the bigger the cubes, the longer you gotta wait to eat it!) and chop the onion.
2. Put a little olive oil in a hot pan and add the potato and onion. Cook until the potatoes are almost completely soft.
3. While the potatoes and onions are cooking, squeeze out the excess water from the tofu and crumble into a bowl and add the soy sauce, chili powder, and garlic powder. (You can mix up the seasonings with whatever tickles your fancy)
4. Cut up the sausage patties into about the same size as the potatoes and add to the pan.
5. Once the sausage is warmed up, maybe 5 minutes, add the crumbled tofu!
6. Heat everything through, lets say 2 minutes, and then serve it up!
Makes 2 very hearty helpings!
This time around, I made some toast and put sriracha on top because I love spicy but you can really do anything you are feeling in the mood for! I also tried this delicious iced coffee which is made with almond milk, definitely a must for all of us vegans!
I love this meal because it makes me feel like I am eating real sausage and eggs but it is 100% vegan this time around. I will definitely be making this recipe more regularly with different toppings to see which one is my absolute favorite.
If you get the chance to make it please let me know what you think! And if you went your own way, I would love to know what you decided to put in it to make it unique to you!
It is time now to sit back and watch Music and Lyrics with this adorable puppy dog.
