  • ½ cup Panko bread crumbs or any breadcrumbs

Cashew Chipotle Cream Sauce

  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water overnight; this is recommended but not required. If you do not have time to soak, blend longer.

Instructions

Jackfruit Crab Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
  • Drain brine from the Jackfruit can
  • Remove any visible seeds, if any remain in the jackfruit
  • Place jackfruit in a food processor and pulse until chopped. DO NOT OVER-PROCESS. It should look shredded.
  • Place shredded jackfruit into a large bowl, and add the remaining ingredients.
  • Using a fork, mix well.
  • I used my Cuisinart Burger Press to form my cakes. You can also use your hands.
  • You may cook immediately, or you can place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake, or you can freeze.
  • Form 6 cakes and place them on a silicone mat-lined baking sheet, or you can use parchment paper.
  • Place in a 400-degree oven for 40 minutes

Chipotle Cashew Cream

  • Drain the cashews and rinse them.
  • Place the cashews and all listed ingredients into a small blender.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Place in a container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare Other Ingredients

  • Sauté portobello mushrooms until brown; set aside
  • Slice a large tomato into 6 slices
  • Slice avocados into several thin slices
  • Toast English muffins

Assemble the Benedict Accordingly

  • Place the toasted English muffin on a plate first
  • Then, place the baked Jackfruit Cake
  • Follow with a slice of tomato
  • Then, place sautéed mushrooms on top of the tomato
  • Follow with thin slices of avocado and top with Cashew Chipolte sauce
  • Topped with chopped cilantro

Notes

WHAT IS DULSE?

Dulse is a variety of seaweed that resembles leafy red lettuce when fresh. Its flavor will definitely remind you of the ocean — its minerality makes it a great stand-in for salt.
The benefits of Dulse include, for example, high levels of protein and fiber. Dulse is a nutrient-rich red algae that has become increasingly popular in health food circles due to its numerous nutrition properties. More and more experts are advising people to implement sea greens into their diets, including dulse.
