Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture is a uniform color.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until they just begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
Continue stirring occasionally, allowing the eggs to form curds but still remain soft and creamy. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes or until the egg mixture is fully cooked but still creamy.
Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve hot.
