Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup dairy-free cheese shreds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and the eggs are fully beaten.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to cook untouched for about 1 minute, until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edge of the pan toward the center. This will help form creamy curds.
After stirring for another 2-3 minutes, when the eggs are still slightly runny, sprinkle in the dairy-free cheese shreds and halved cherry tomatoes.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped chives over the scrambled eggs.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
