Introduction

Start your day with a flavorful and satisfying vegan breakfast sandwich that’s easy to make and packed with plant-based protein. This sandwich combines tofu scramble, vegan bacon, creamy avocado, and melty vegan cheese on toasted bagels for a delicious morning treat.

A sandwich held by a woman's hand shows a soft, round, golden-brown bagel as the top and bottom layers. Inside, the first layer is a crumbly, yellow tofu scramble mixed with small pieces of orange vegetables at the bottom. Above this is a smooth slice of melted cheddar cheese in a rich orange color. Next, there are thin strips of crispy, reddish-brown bacon alongside bright green avocado slices and fresh green leafy arugula on top before the top bagel layer. The background is a white marbled texture with blurred pink and orange flowers in a blue vase and a white plate underneath the sandwich photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups tofu scramble (vegan “egg” patty or tofu patty)
2 bagels
2 slices vegan cheese
Vegan bacon (any type)
Avocado
Arugula
Hot sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the tofu scramble or vegan egg patty and vegan bacon according to the package instructions.
Step 2: Slice the bagels in half and place a slice of vegan cheese on each bottom half. Toast the bagels with cheese in a toaster oven until the cheese is melted and the bagels are golden brown.
Step 3: On each cheesy bottom half, layer the cooked tofu scramble or egg patty, vegan bacon, avocado slices, arugula, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
Step 4: Place the top half of the bagel on each sandwich and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use flavored bagels like everything or sesame for added taste.
Swap arugula with spinach or lettuce for a milder green.
Add tomato slices or vegan mayo for extra moisture and flavor.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bagels or sandwich bread.

Storage

Assemble the sandwich fresh for the best texture. Leftover cooked tofu scramble and vegan bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before assembling. Avoid toasting the sandwich ahead of time to keep the bagel from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

The sandwich has three main layers inside a golden-brown bun: the bottom layer is fluffy scrambled eggs with a soft texture and bright yellow color; above the eggs is a slice of melted cheddar cheese in vivid orange that drapes slightly over the eggs; on top are thin, reddish-brown slices of crispy plant-based bacon, with a few green arugula leaves adding a fresh touch before the top bun closes the sandwich. The bun has a smooth, slightly shiny surface with small, scattered grains. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

It’s best to prepare the components in advance but assemble the sandwich just before eating to preserve freshness and texture.

What can I use instead of vegan bacon?

You can substitute with grilled mushrooms, tempeh bacon, or smoked tofu for a similar savory flavor.
