Warning: you may never want to eat anything else for breaky, ever again. This is highly addictive due to deliciousness. Be still my beating heart!
Red pepper, onion and mushroom hash-brown, smoked 'bakon', and pumpkin bread smothered in roasted red pepper hummus? I just won breakfast time.
If you were hungry before, you won't be after you eat this- it is jammed full of protein! AND IT'S HEALTHY! Yuuu-uumm! (You're welcome!) 😍
I was typing away on a post and a little grumbling in my stomach started to occur. I looked at the clock. Not quite lunch time yet. What was I to do?
I don't usually eat breakfast. I eat my fruits in the morning then I have a lunch sometime after that but not usually do I eat anything breakfasty.
I entered the kitchen with cravings swirling around in my mind. What does one eat for breakfast?
- Bread (X) (Gluten) Oh wait, I have some gluten free bread in the fridge! Score!
- Bacon (X) (Animal product)
- Eggs (X) (Animal product)
- Cereal and milk (X) (Wheat + Dairy)
- Yogurt (X) (Dairy)
- HASHBROWNS!! (YAY!)
Hmmm, that's hard right? Look at those X's! I can't have gluten (wheat) nor dairy/meat products... but those are the typical breakfast foods!
I had to get creative! Lucky I did because That's when this bad boy was born and you're going to love it!
Meet the protein packed, vegan, gluten-free breakfast sandwich of your dreams!
What you need:
(this recipe made 3 full sandwiches and I still had leftovers for 2 more later)
- 2 slices of bread per sandwich (I used gluten free pumpkin bread - it doesn't taste like pumpkin though!)
- 1 pack mushrooms (that brown stuff is woodear mushroom if you don’t have them, try your favorite mushroom instead!)
- 1 package of organic, non GMO tempe (for 'bakon')
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 1-2 potatoes
- Salt and pepper
- Cumin (season to taste)
What to do:
- Peel and cut the potatoes and onions into pieces.
- Add potato, and onion into a food processor and pulse.
- Add in chopped pieces of the red bell pepper.
- Pulse until mixed together but leave bigger chunks of the bell pepper.
- Simmer cumin and coriander in some coconut oil for a minute or two.
Next, add in the mushrooms and let them cook in the seasoning first for a couple of minutes.
Add the mixture from the food processor into the skillet with the mushrooms.
Let cook for about 10-15 minutes. Keeping an eye on it and stirring.
If you want a crispy version you can bake this (I did the second time and it’s delicious that way too!)
- Cut tempe into strips and fry (or bake) in coconut oil, liquid smoke and paprika.
- Flip tempe over and cook until desired crispness.
I like to turn the heat off and let it finish off from the residual heat of the pan.
- Start with the bread.
- Smother with hummus! (Get your protein here!)
- Add on part of the 'hash brown' mixture!
- Top with ‘bakon’ (Oh look! More protein!)
- Eat like nobody’s watching!
This sandwich actually startled me!
I was so WOW-ed with how delicious it was. I mean, I know myself and I knew it would be good but holy shmokes it was seriously so good I ate another one just for good measure!
I hope you get a chance to give it a try this weekend! Feel free to tweak the ingredients if you want to use a regular bread or hummus or mushroom- I am positive it’ll still be delicious!
Enjoy my friends, happy weekend!
