How do I press the tofu for this recipe?

You can use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in a paper towel, place it on a plate, and pile cookbooks on top to drain excess water for at least 15 minutes.

What gives the avocado hollandaise its creamy texture and flavor?

The hollandaise is made by blending fresh avocado, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

How to Prepare Tofu Benedict With Avocado Hollandaise [Vegan]

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Press the tofu by using a tofu press or by placing the tofu on a plate, wrapping it in a paper towel, and then piling Cookbooks on top. Drain tofu of excess water for at least 15 minutes.
Once drained, slice the tofu and cut each tofu filet in half. Pat each side of each piece with a paper towel, then brush each side with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill tofu for approximately 10 minutes (5 minutes on each side, flipping only once during cook time) until nice grill marks are achieved.
Cut the English muffins in half and toast until tops are golden brown and crispy.
Place 1/2 an avocado, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Remove English muffins from the toaster oven and top each with a spoonful of the remaining 1/2 of the avocado. Mash with a fork.
Top each with arugula, a slice of tomato, a piece of tofu, a heaping tablespoonful of the avocado hollandaise and a garnish of fresh thyme, if desired.
