Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 4 tablespoons Chickpea flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 100 grams Vegan bacon, crumbled
- 100 grams Vegan Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a muffin tin with olive oil.
In a blender, combine silken tofu, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, almond milk, turmeric, black salt, and baking powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the tofu mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add crumbled vegan bacon, shredded vegan Gruyere cheese, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold until well combined.
Distribute the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve the vegan bacon and Gruyere egg bites warm, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
