Description
A delightful vegan tofu omelette that provides a fluffy texture and rich flavor, perfect for a satisfying breakfast experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup vegan milk (such as almond or soy)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed veggies (bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach)
- 1 cup cremini or button mushrooms, chopped
- Fresh herbs (basil, parsley) for topping
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into a bowl.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add chopped mushrooms and veggies, cooking until softened and slightly caramelized.
- In another bowl, whisk together crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and vegan milk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the tofu mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to firm up.
- Gently flip or fold the omelette and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes on the other side.
- Serve topped with fresh herbs and desired sides.
Notes
Allow mushrooms to caramelize fully for robust flavor; avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain fluffiness.
