Grill-Pressed Crispy Tofu & Spinach Brunch Toast

High Protein

A 583-calorie Brunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 300g extra-firm tofu, pressed and thinly sliced into 4 pieces
• 2 slices low-carb bread (approx. 60 calories per slice)
• 100g fresh spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, roasted and mashed
• 15g unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Prep: Press extra-firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Thinly slice the pressed tofu into four equal pieces. Wash and dry the spinach. Mash roasted garlic with softened butter to create the garlic spread.
2. Season the tofu slices lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a grill pan or electric grill to medium-high heat. Brush the tofu slices with olive oil and grill-press for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Lightly toast the low-carb bread slices.
5. While the toast is warm, spread generously with the roasted garlic butter.
6. In a small pan, quickly sauté the fresh spinach with a tiny bit of olive oil or water until just wilted (about 1-2 minutes).
7. Assemble: Place half of the crispy tofu on each garlic-spread toast slice, then top with the wilted spinach.
8. Slice each toast diagonally and serve immediately.
