Vegan Fried Egg

Ingredients

• 1 block Firm Tofu
• 1 tbsp Vegan Butter
• ½ can (13.5 oz) Coconut Milk
• 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• ½ tsp Ground Turmeric
• ½ tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

1. Make the yolk sauce: whisk together coconut milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, turmeric, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture thickens to a pourable, glossy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Stand the tofu block on its side and cut into 4 thin slices. Use the tip of a knife to trim the corners of each slice into a rough circle shape, or use a round cookie cutter.
3. Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slices in a single layer and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until lightly golden and browned around the edges.
4. Transfer the fried tofu slices to plates. Use a small round cookie cutter or a shot glass to press and remove a circle from the center of each slice.
5. Spoon the warm yolk sauce into each hole, filling it to the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
