Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread (or gluten-free bread, if desired)
- 2 teaspoons Vegan butter
- 0.33 block (about 100g) Silken tofu
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond milk, soy milk)
- 2 teaspoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 serving Optional toppings (e.g., avocado slices, microgreens, cherry tomatoes)
Instructions
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. Spread 1 teaspoon of vegan butter on each slice while still warm. Set aside.
Prepare the 'egg white': In a bowl, whisk together the silken tofu, 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour, 1 tablespoon of plant-based milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. The mixture should resemble the consistency of pancake batter.
Prepare the 'egg yolk': In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour, 1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast, 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder, 0.25 teaspoon kala namak, 0.125 teaspoon salt, 0.125 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon unsweetened plant-based milk. Mix until a thick paste forms.
Heat 2 teaspoons of neutral cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour the 'egg white' mixture into the skillet, spreading slightly to form a thin, round layer about 4 inches in diameter. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to firm up.
Spoon the 'egg yolk' mixture into the center of the 'egg white' while it is still slightly wet and uncooked in the middle. Use the back of the spoon to create a round 'yolk' shape, similar to a fried egg.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the 'egg white' is fully set and the 'egg yolk' is heated through.
Remove the vegan fried egg carefully from the skillet and transfer it onto one of the toasted bread slices.
Optional: Top the vegan toast with fried egg using avocado slices, microgreens, or cherry tomatoes for added flavor and nutrition.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan toast with fried egg!
