t

6. Pour off any excess liquid and bake the tofu for 3 to 4 more minutes or until it is browned.

t

7. Meanwhile, melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat.

t

8. Whisk in the sour cream, paprika, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook just until heated through (don’t bring it to a boil).

t

9. Top each English muffin half with a slice of tofu, Canadian bacon, and a generous spoonful of the sauce. Serve immediately.
