Smoked Tempeh Bits
- 1 pkg of tempeh, crumbled
- 1tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp dried basil (optional)

Directions
Begin by making your smoked tempeh bits. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil through the salt and pepper. Place the crumbled tempeh in a Ziploc bag and allow the tempeh to soak up the marinade. Mix well and allow to marinate while you make your omelet mixture.
In a bowl, mix together the hummus and the nutritional yeast. Set aside.
In a large skillet and over high heat add 2 TBS water and sauté down your spinach. Once it has wilted and the water has evaporated, allow it to cool on a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop it up.
In a blender add the omelet ingredients and blend until smooth. Give a large non-stick pan a quick spray of some cooking spray and when the pan is hot, pour about a 3” diameter amount of omelet mixture into the pan. Keeping the pan over high heat, add in 1 TBS wilted spinach and a few generous pinches of tempeh crumbles in the center. Cover the pan for about 2-3 minutes and allow the omelet and fillings to cook. When it begins to firm up a little, add a thin layer of cheesy hummus over the spinach/tempeh and fold over the omelet. Cover again for 3-4 minutes. Uncover and if it is beginning to look a little brown, flip the omelet, cover and continue to cook for another minute or two. Slide omelet off the pan and on to a plate. Top with a little more cheesy hummus and serve!
