Ingredients

• 1 block (approximately 300 grams) Tofu (silken)
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground pepper
• 0.5 small Carrot
• 0.25 cup Cheddar-style vegan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the silken tofu and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together chickpea flour and water to make a smooth batter; set aside.

Step 3

Grate the half carrot finely and set aside. This will be used to mimic the look of an egg yolk.

Step 4

In a non-stick frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Gently shape and place two round, flat portions of tofu in the pan. These will be your 'egg whites'.

Step 6

Sprinkle nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, kala namak, and ground pepper evenly over the tofu.

Step 7

Carefully mold a small well in the center of each tofu round using a spoon, enough to fit a tablespoon of chickpea batter.

Step 8

Place about 1 tablespoon of the chickpea flour batter into each well, then add a small pinch of grated carrot on top to give the appearance of an egg yolk.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a lid and let the 'eggs' cook gently for about 5-7 minutes or until the batter is firm to touch and the tofu is lightly browned on the bottom.

Step 10

For additional flavor, top each 'egg' with a sprinkle of vegan cheddar-style cheese if desired and allow it to slightly melt under the lid.

Step 11

Serve immediately with toast or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
