Breakfast Sandwich
This hearty breakfast sandwich brings warmth and comfort, especially on those chilly winter mornings. I love how the smoky tempeh and creamy avocado come together for a satisfying bite.
I remember the first time I made this breakfast sandwich on a cold winter morning.
The kitchen smelled amazing, and each bite was a little hug from the inside out.
I love how this recipe combines wholesome ingredients to kickstart my day.
Plus, it’s so easy to customize based on what I have on hand – that’s the beauty of cooking with plants!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Tempeh is a fantastic source of plant-based protein, and if you're not a fan, you could swap it for marinated tofu or even some sautéed mushrooms for a different flavor. Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients, but feel free to use your favorite bread – gluten-free options work too!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to prepare extra tempeh and keep it in the fridge for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
- •If you want to spice things up, add some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for a kick!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a slice of tomato or cucumber for extra freshness.
- •If I'm feeling indulgent, a layer of hummus is a delightful addition!
Storage & Freezing
While I suggest enjoying this sandwich fresh, you can store any leftover components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat the tempeh before assembling for the best taste!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this sandwich gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just use gluten-free bread and check that your tempeh doesn’t contain any gluten.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the sliced tempeh.
- 2
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the tempeh. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it's golden and crispy.
- 3
While the tempeh cooks, toast your whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet until it's nice and crispy.
- 4
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix in the nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor.
- 5
Once the tempeh is done, assemble your sandwich: spread the mashed avocado on one slice of toasted bread, add a layer of sautéed tempeh, a handful of fresh spinach, and top with another slice of bread.
