Egg-free French Toast |
|
|
The Goldbecks’ personal favorite and a great vegan choice.
4 tablespoons soy flour
4 tablespoons tahini
½ cup water
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
pinch salt
6 slices whole grain bread
1 tablespoon oil (optional)
Beat together soy flour, tahini, water, honey, and salt until creamy,
adding more water if necessary to make the consistency of heavy cream.
Soak bread on both sides until “cream” is completely
absorbed. Sauté in hot oil or broil or bake as described below.
Reduced-fat French Toast: To prepare large quantities of
French toast at one time, or to reduce fat and calories, broil or
bake. To broil, place soaked bread on a wire rack set above a cookie
sheet and brown on each side. To bake, place soaked bread on a wire
rack set above a cookie sheet and bake in a 450 degree oven for 10
minutes. Turn slices over and bake an additional 5 minutes. Because
this version does not brown (although it does become crisp), you may
want to sprinkle it with cinnamon for appearance.

2 eggs
¼ cup dairy or soy milk
¼ cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon honey
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt
6 slices whole grain bread
butter or oil
Beat eggs with milk, wheat germ, honey, vanilla, and salt.
Soak both sides of bread in egg mixture. When fully saturated, cook
in hot skillet coated with melted butter or oil until browned on both sides.

Scrambled Tofu with Everything |
|
|
The amount here is just right for an intimate breakfast for two.
Multiply as needed for the family or a crowd.
1 tablespoon oil
¼ cup chopped green pepper
1 small onion, chopped
8 ounces tofu, any style
Soy sauce
½ teaspoon turmeric or paprika
½ cup diced tomato, well drained
Heat oil in a skillet and sauté green pepper and onion for a
few minutes, until onion is golden.
Drain tofu, pat dry and break into small chunks with a fork.
Add tofu to skill and season with a dash of soy sauce and turmeric or
paprika. (Turmeric is an orange spice that turns the tofu yellow,
giving the appearance of scrambled egg. If you don’t have
turmeric, paprika can be used for color.)
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tofu is dry.
Add tomato and cook long enough to heat through.
Makes 2 servings

Tempeh Strips |
|
|
These tasty bacon-like strips are delicious served alongside French
toast, pancakes or eggs.

1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
Oil
Cut tempeh into strips 1/8-inch thick. Combine soy sauce and water.
Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a skillet. When hot, add
tempeh strips and brown lightly on both sides.
Sprinkle diluted soy sauce over browned tempeh, cover and cook 1 to 2
minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove lid and cook to evaporate any remaining moisture.
Makes 24 strips; 4 servings
