Instructions
 

Tempeh Sausage Gravy

  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tempeh and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute
  • Reduce heat to medium and add spices. Sprinkle in the flour. Stir well to coat mixture
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to cook for a few minutes, or until thick and creamy

Cheddar Cheese Sauce

  • Boil the potatoes, carrots, and cashews until just fork tender, about 10-12 minutes depending on size
  • Once tender transfer to a blender and add the remaining ingredients. Blend on high until super creamy

Scrambled Tofu

  • Begin by pressing the tofu for at least 15 minutes
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and begin to lightly scramble or mash with a fork (leaving some chunks)
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine
  • Cook until hot, about 5 minutes

Pizza Assembly

  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • Spread the tempeh gravy on top of the pizza crusts, add scrambled tofu, and any other toppings you'd like
  • Transfer to oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or according to pizza crust directions
  • Remove and add cheese sauce and rice paper bacon!
