This Tofu βEggβ Salad Sandwich comes together in 5 minutes, uses pantry ingredients, is super easy. Vegan Egg-less Recipe. Quick Tofu Egg Salad Sandwich Breakfast or Lunch.
The other day, I wanted a really simple breakfast, so I crumbled up the tofu and added the general spices I would add to a scramble and served it in a sandwich with my spicy mustard dip.
Hubbs tried some and exclaimed.. ooh this is so much likeΒ scrambled eggs. I was like, why havenβt we done this before. Hubbs ate the whole bowl by himself and I had to make more..
This is a great base recipe, add crunchy veggies, cheese or other flavors to taste.
Now Β if only i could find a gluten-free vegan bread that looks that good.

Made this tonight. Tastes great! I didnβt have black salt, so I substituted braggβs kelp seasoning. Love the dish and love the site.
I just made this today. I had to special order the Indian Black Salt, and when it finally arrived, I wasted no time. This recipe is AMAZING! I used the Dijon instead of vegan mayo, since mustard adds no real nutritional harm. I donβt really remember what egg salad tastes like, but I remember what eggs smell like, and the black salt really does it. I put some chopped celery in for crunch, and slapped some on bread, without anything else, and it was really, very good. I have been ethically vegan for over 14 years, Richa, and your recipes are some of the best I have ever made. Keep βem coming. Youβre awesome!
yay! so glad you ordered it and made this. the salt makes such a big difference. I am so glad you like the recipes :)) xoxo
I am so notorious for postponing posts because of the write up. I have folders of recipes that are waiting for write ups. *sigh* This sandwich looks great! I also have not yet made the tofu egg salad. I used to love egg salad back in the pre-vegan days. Itβs probably time I made this. π
This is the first recipe Iβve tried from your blog, and it was delcious! My husband and I ate this for dinner last night. I omitted the black salt because I canβt find it in South Africa. Our sandwiches contained homemade siracha mayo, lettuce, tomato and avocado, it was fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!
yay! awesome! sounds fantastic!
Haha β oh, Richa! Some days are just like that, arenβt they? Sounds like everything came together nicely, though. This yummy sandwich reminds me so much of my momβs egg salad sandwiches β minus the eggs, of course ;-)!
i took the next day to calm down as well. that game was so crazy awesome. watch the highlights:) one last game day left, i hope i can survive that one π
Hi Richa,
Your blog looks fabulous. I just bought the Kala Namak yesterday and Iβm about to use it this week for the very first time so this recipe is just-on-time for me. I will start with the basics, like scrambled eggs itself, but as soon as Iβll find some vegan gluten free bread in here as well I definitely have to try make this sandwich. It looks absolutely amazing! What is your favourite recipe with black salt? Do you use it just for scrambled eggs or is there any other way how to work with it? As I said, I havenβt tried it yet, and since you claim that you and the salt are both from India, you seem like the right person to ask π
You can use it for chickpea or tofu omelets, or savory pancakes. It also uses in curry sauces to make them tangy. or used in a spice blend called chaat masala, that is sprinkled over fruits and served as a fruit salad. the black salt instantly makes the mouth water. you can add it to potatoes or other vegetable sides for a sour flavor profile.
Wow! Thatβs quite a lot of tips, thank you ! Iβve already thought about the omelettes, but wouldnβt probably got the rest of the ideas. Well my must-try list is getting bigger and bigger haha. Thank you very much, Richa, I trully appreciate it xx
This sounds wonderful but how did it get to be so high calories and fat? I am assuming that you counted the bread. What would be a serving size of just the tofu egg salad and that calorie count?
the plugin uses something in the background. Sometimes it messes up the totals.
its close to the what 14 oz firm tofu would be, 70 cal, 4 gm protein https://www.nasoya.com/products/organic-non-gmo-tofu/firm-tofu
just the salad would serve 2 to 4 depending on the sides
Oooh that looks amazing! Iβve never used kala namak though Iβve heard about it quite a few times, its supposed to have a very distinctive flavour. If it can make a vegan scramble taste even MORE like eggs then Iβm definitely doing to have to try it out:D
