Ingredients

Hollandaise Sauce

  • ⅓ cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper

Tofu Egg

  • ½ medium yellow onion diced
  • 14 - 16 ounces firm or extra firm tofu
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon black salt

Assemble

  • 4 whole wheat English muffins
  • 8 slices Vegan Ham

Instructions

Hollandaise Sauce

  • Soak the cashews in boiling water for 20 minutes, then drain. The soaking is not necessary if you have a high speed blender.
  • Place the cashews and all the remaining hollandaise sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat until the sauce comes to a boil. Stir constantly to keep the sauce from scorching and becoming lumpy.

Tofu Egg

  • In a non-stick skillet, saute the onion in a small amount of water until it becomes translucent. Add additional water if the onion starts to stick.
  • Squeeze a little of the water out of the tofu. It's not necessary to press it. Crumble it into the pan of sauteed onion.
  • Add the seasonings and stir to combine.
  • Continue cooking until the tofu is heated through and the liquid is absorbed.

Assemble the Tofu Benedict

  • Toast the English muffins.
  • Place two English muffin halves on each plate.
  • Top each English muffin half with a slice of vegan ham, a scoop of the tofu egg, and some hollandaise sauce.
  • Garnish as desired with chopped chives, fresh dill, paprika, black pepper, or a dash of cayenne pepper.
