Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks.
In a separate small bowl, combine nutritional yeast, almond milk, turmeric, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth to create the cheesy mixture.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently pour the eggs into the pan.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites begin to set but the yolks are still runny.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully drizzle the prepared cheesy mixture over the egg whites, avoiding the yolks.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheesy mixture is heated and slightly thickened and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
Remove the eggs from the pan using a spatula, garnishing with chopped chives before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free cheesy fried eggs as a delightful breakfast or brunch option.
