We love making protein-packed breakfasts
around here. It helps get us through the day without getting sluggish,
puts an end to mid-morning snacking, and gets us through our afternoon
runs with the pup. One of our favorite ways to do that is to whip up a
big batch of spicy chickpea scramble! We toss slightly mashed chickpeas
into a large skillet, toss in whatever veggies we have and some of our
favorite spices (usually some combo of cumin, chili powder + lots of
garlic), and cook it until the whole thing is heated through and the
veggies are soft. Its super easy to whip up, reheats well, and last
about a week in the fridge! When I'm on top of my shit and food
prepping, this is one of my faves. Sometimes though, eating the same
breakfast can get boring. You've been there- breakfast rut is
the worst! To mix things up we bought focaccia buns, piled 'em high with
chickpea scramble, creamy avocado, a slice of Field Roast's new Chao
cheese, a smattering of mustard, and a sprinkle of cilantro. PERFECTION!
So much flavor and such a nice change from the usual faux meat + faux
egg combo. So, let's eat!
INGREDIENTS:
Mexican Chickpea Scramble (about 1/2 cup per sandwich)
2 focaccia buns
2 slices of Field Roast Creamy Original (or your favorite sliced vegan) cheese
2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS:
Make up your chickpea scramble (the day before, if you like!) and heat it over medium heat until it is heated through.
In a toaster or on a griddle, lightly toast the inner sides of the focaccia buns. Spread the inside of the bottom and top of the buns with 1-2 teaspoon of mustard each. Layer hot scramble onto the bottom bun, then top with a layer of sliced vegan cheese and sliced avocado. Serve and enjoy!
Makes 2 breakfast sandwiches. Scramble can be refrigerated 4-5 days in the fridge and reheated.
