Method

  • step 1

    Remove the tofu from the pack and press out the excess water, either between sheets of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel, weighed down with a plate for about 30 mins.

  • step 2

    Mix the mayo, mustard, turmeric and nutritional yeast together with a little salt and pepper.

  • step 3

    Crumble the tofu into a bowl, leaving large chunks to create a chopped egg texture. Gently stir in the chives. If you want it looser you can add more mayo.

  • step 4

    Spread the mixture on the bread to make four or five rounds of sandwiches (depending on how much filling you want), then add cress, if you like. Use a sharp knife to cut into triangles.

RECIPE TIPS
GET THE EGGY FLAVOUR

If you want to replicate an eggy flavour in these sandwiches, try adding a pinch of black salt (also called kala namak or Himalayan black salt) which has a distinctive sulphurous flavour.
