The Jax Biscuit Sandwich

IMG_1743.jpg

Just outside of our neighborhood is the best vegan breakfast and lunch spot in our city! It is our family’s go to spot for an always quick and delicious meal.

One of my most favorite menu items is something called the Blisscuit!

It is an herb biscuit topped with vegan egg salad, sauerkraut, and avocado.

So naturally for all y’all that are not in Jacksonville FL and who can not visit the infamous, Southern Roots, we decided to create our own version of this delicious bite with a few changes.

We used our fluffy southern biscuit recipe,tofu egg salad, and quick dill sauerkraut to create what we call the Jax Biscuit Sandwich!

We make a really simple quick dil sauerkraut to top this biscuit with. All you need is some cabbage, dil, vinegar, salt, and a microwave. You will have kraut in minutes!! It will only get better with time but is good from the start!

Our vegan egg salad using tofu is one of my favorite quick lunches and something we make almost weekly. Try and find some black salt (kala namak) if you can. Its actually pink and might also be called Indian kala namak. It is sulfur salt so taste and smells strongly of eggs. Its perfect for any and all vegan “egg” dishes you make!

And although we think our biscuit is pretty darn good, and you should definitely make yourself one or five, if you ever find yourself in our river city, go by and try the real deal! You won’t be disappointed! We are forever grateful for the full bellies Southern Roots brings us and all the tasty inspiration!

i often will whip up a batch of tofu vegan egg salad sandwiches for get togethers or bbqs. It is so easy to make and often times people have no idea that it is vegan. I also like to make some on the weekends to keep in the fridge for a fast weekday lunch. I love it on crackers or even on salads. The addition of black salt will give it a more convincing egg taste but you don’t have to use it. It is a surfer salt and smells and taste of eggs. You can often find it at specialty spice shops or online.
