Tofu Egg Sandwich
Hey friends! π₯ͺ Do you ever wake up craving something filling and refreshingβ¦ but you're just so over the usual egg sandwich or peanut butter toast? Yup, I've been there too.
That's how I ended up creating this tofu egg salad sandwich β and it's honestly become one of my favorite go-to breakfasts! So I just had to share it with you. π
Why I Switched Things Up
So I was making the classic egg salad one morning and realized I had some silken tofu sitting in the fridge. I thought, "Why not try blending the two?" The result? A creamy, slightly tangy, super satisfying spread that tastes just right between two slices of bread. Bonus: it's packed with protein but feels lighter than mayo-heavy versions.

What You'll Need π§Ί
Here's what I used for one sandwich (and you can easily double or triple this!):
β’ 2 slices of your favorite bread (I like wholegrain or sourdough)
β’ 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
β’ About β
block of silken tofu
β’ 1 tbsp plain yogurt (or use vegan mayo)
β’ 1 tsp Dijon mustard
β’ Salt & black pepper to taste
β’ A pinch of turmeric (for color and a little boost)
β’ Chopped chives or green onions (optional but so good!)
β’ Lettuce or arugula for crunch
How to Put It Together
It's super easy. Just mash the tofu with a fork in a bowl until smooth. Add the chopped egg, yogurt, mustard, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Stir everything together until it looks like a creamy egg salad. Toast your bread if you like (I always do!), lay down some greens, and pile on the tofu egg mix. Done!
Tips to Make It Even Better π₯
- Add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness - If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in some chili flakes - You can skip the egg completely and just double the tofu for a vegan version - It keeps in the fridge for 2 days, so make a bigger batch ahead of time!
Final Thoughts
This tofu egg salad sandwich has seriously upgraded my breakfast game β it's quick, tasty, and gives me energy without making me feel heavy. I usually make it when I want something healthy but still comforting. π«
