Veg McMuffin

Chris says that he likes these better than any meat laden breakfast sandwich, and he loves the tofu and actually prefers it to eggs on this sandwich. I have been making this for years and you can use your veggie meat of choice. I have made it with "bacon", "ham", "sausage", etc. I think that I like Lightlife's Gimmie Lean Sausage the best. It reminds me of the "back in da day" breakfast sandwiches from take out as its name implies. This sandwich really tastes the best when you have a toasted bagel or English Muffin. However, this morning I have no Gimmie Lean or English Muffins/bagels for that matter (sigh), so I think that I will be trying this with the tempeh bacon recipe that I used for the TLAT's and some Flax Bread, toasted. I usually thinly slice the tofu, and use two thin slices per sandwich. I also sprinkle the tofu slices with a little Nutritional Yeast while it is cooking. While it wasn't as good made the way I like it, it was still mighty tasty and the boy is envious since he is at work and didn't get one ;) And I know you are all jealous of my vintage Beauty and the Beast plate it is on :P
