Instructions
In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. This is your monster’s green gooey slime. Set aside.
Sauté red pepper strips in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil for about 3–5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. These make perfect wiggly monster tongues.
Skewer each stuffed green olive with a toothpick. These will go on top of the croissant as eyeballs.
Assemble the Monsters:
Slice each croissant horizontally (hinge-style if you can).
Spread the mashed avocado generously on the bottom half.
Add tofu scramble (your “monster brains”).
Place a few baby spinach leaves and some cherry tomato halves inside for juicy pops of red.
Hang one or two red bell pepper strips from the center as the tongue.
Gently close the croissant mouth, letting some filling show.
Stick two stuffed green olive “eyes” on top of each croissant using toothpicks. Angle them outward or cross-eyed for silliness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your silly, savory monster!
