Makes about 6 medium patties.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 c water
- 1 tsp ‘The Vegg’ egg yolk replacer
- 15 oz extra firm tofu, rinsed and patted dry
- 1/2 c whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and use the tablespoon of oil to generously oil a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Add the water to your food processor, sprinkle in ‘The Vegg’ egg yolk replacer, and pulse a few times until mostly blended.
- If the brand of tofu you are using is excessively wet, squeeze out as much water as possible while breaking it up; add to the food processor. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Process just until smooth and everything adheres together easily like a pasty dough.
- Divide mixture in 6 and flatten each into a patty shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes, turn the patties over, and bake another 10-15 minutes or until browned and firm. (If a still browner color is desired, place under the broiler for a minute or two on each side.)
