- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, combine nutritional yeast, almond milk, turmeric, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth to create the cheesy mixture.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, gently pour the eggs into the pan.
Step 5
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites begin to set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and carefully drizzle the prepared cheesy mixture over the egg whites, avoiding the yolks.
Step 7
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheesy mixture is heated and slightly thickened and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
Step 8
Remove the eggs from the pan using a spatula, garnishing with chopped chives before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free cheesy fried eggs as a delightful breakfast or brunch option.
