Cheesy Tofu Breakfast Bagel [Vegan]

Ingredients

• Everything bagel or bagel of choice
• 1/2 of 1 12-ounce block of extra-firm tofu
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil, for cooking tofu
• Salt, to taste
• 1/4 cup vegan cheddar cheese
• Avocado, as needed for topping
• 1/2 of 1 red onion
• Vegan mayonnaise
• Ketchup

Preparation

1. Remove excess liquid from tofu block by using a tofu press or simply placing tofu between paper towels or clean dish towel for 15-20 minutes.
2. Slice tofu into thin squares, and place in hot skillet with a 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil.
3. Pan cook for about 5-8 minutes on each side, turning every 2 minutes to avoid sticking.
4. Once tofu is slightly crispy on both sides, sprinkle evenly with turmeric and salt and remove from heat.
5. While tofu is cooking, slice red onion into big chunks and pan cook with a little coconut oil. Use a medium to low heat and let them turn to a translucent and slightly brown color.
6. Remove onion from heat and set aside.
7. Cut bagel, and place cheddar cheese on one side of the bagel, then toast to desired crispiness, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
8. Stack 3-4 tofu squares, grilled onion, avocado, and add ketchup and vegan mayonnaise. Slice in half if desired.
