- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture is a uniform color.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 5
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until they just begin to set around the edges.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
Step 7
Continue stirring occasionally, allowing the eggs to form curds but still remain soft and creamy. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes or until the egg mixture is fully cooked but still creamy.
