Vegetarian Breakfast Roll With Texturized Vegetable Protein (Tvp)
A savory vegetarian breakfast roll filled with textured vegetable protein, colorful peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese, wrapped in flaky phyllo dough for a satisfying morning meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown and crumble the TVP breakfast patties in olive oil with chopped peppers, garlic, onion, and black pepper.
- Layer 4 to 6 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing lightly with olive oil between each sheet.
- Toss the remaining ingredients with the cooked patties mixture.
- Place 2 to 3 cups of the mixture in a line at the end of the sheet of dough.
- Roll up the dough, sealing the ends to enclose the filling.
- Brush the rolled pastry lightly with oil.
- Bake on a cookie sheet at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the mushrooms before mixing them with the TVP to enhance their taste. You can easily substitute the Swiss cheese with mozzarella or cheddar based on your preference. If you don't have phyllo dough, puff pastry works as a great alternative, giving a different texture but equally delicious results. This recipe is versatile and can accommodate various vegetables, so feel free to include any leftovers you have!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these breakfast rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and assemble the rolls a day in advance. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake them directly from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they are heated through.
Can I freeze these rolls?
Absolutely! These rolls freeze well. After baking, let them cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes.
What can I use instead of TVP?
If you're looking for a substitute for TVP, consider using crumbled tofu or tempeh for texture and protein. Alternatively, finely chopped mushrooms or even lentils can provide a hearty filling. Adjust the seasoning accordingly to enhance the flavors of your chosen substitute.
