Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, crack 4 large eggs.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast to the eggs.

Step 3

Season the mixture with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is warmed, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Step 7

Allow the eggs to sit without stirring for about 1 minute until they begin to set around the edges.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a slow, sweeping motion from the edge of the skillet to the center, creating large, soft curds.

Step 9

Continue to cook, stirring slowly, until the eggs are just set but still soft and slightly runny in places, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat as the eggs will continue to cook and firm up slightly off the heat.

Step 11

Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped chives for garnish.

Step 12

Serve immediately, while the eggs are still hot and creamy.
