If I had my own cafe, there’s no doubt that this toast would be the menu’s star. It’s loaded with protein, healthy fats, essential nutrients and antioxidants to satisfy your cravings and keep you full.
I go back to this recipe whenever I don’t feel like cooking anything complex but still want a balanced meal. It makes a perfect breakfast or lunch giving you that fancy restaurant toast vibe.
For my toast, I like to choose freshly baked sourdough or gluten-free bread, depending on what’s available on the day. For the textures to combine nicely, make sure your avocado is ripe, and tofu has been drained. I buy edamame beans frozen, so it’s easy to prepare. I air-fried them to make them extra soft in this recipe, but you could also boil them.
Sourdough, avocado, tofu, nutritional yeast, edamame and tahini are high in protein, making this toast an excellent meal for someone trying to build muscle or control their sugar levels. Also, high protein foods supply amino acids required for collagen production, and with this combination of ingredients, you’ll get a plentiful supply. In addition, all these ingredients and other spices used in the recipe are full of healthful phytonutrients to nourish your body from head to toe! This recipe is a must-try!
INGREDIENTS:
For the toast:
2 slices sourdough bread (toasted)

DIRECTIONS:
- Place tofu in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the water. Next, place tofu in a bowl and crush it with a fork to create a scrambled egg consistency.
- Add olive oil to a hot pan followed by red bell pepper. Season it with turmeric, paprika, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. Add a tiny amount of plant-based milk if the consistency is too dry.
- Turn off the stove once you get scrambled egg-like consistency and put tofu aside.
- Mash the avocado in a bowl with the fork. Add garlic powder, paprika and salt.
- Place defrosted edamame in the air-fryer, fry until soft.
- Prepare the tahini dressing by mixing tahini paste with some soy sauce and clean water.
