Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (12.3 ounce) package light firm tofu, drained
½ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup chickpeas
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 pinch paprika

Steps:

  • Wrap drained tofu in a clean, lint-free dish towel and place on a plate. Set another plate or block of butter on top. Place in the refrigerator to drain for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap tofu and discard accumulated liquid. Cut tofu widthwise into 4 equal pieces. Carve each piece into the shape of half an egg white using a spoon. Hollow out the center of each piece to create a spot for the "yolk." Reserve all the scraps.
  • Marinate "egg whites" in cider vinegar in a shallow dish for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from vinegar and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake tofu in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Combine tofu scraps, chickpeas, mustard, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth. Spoon mixture into a resealable plastic bag and snip off one corner.
  • Pipe the chickpea mixture into the hollows in the tofu. Garnish with chives and paprika. Chill before serving.
