Vegan Fried Eggs
Vegan Fried EggsThis recipe is perfect to fulfill the craving for soft and drippy yolks from fried eggs! I love the way the tofu-based egg white and Vegg Yolk combination really capture the flavours and textures of chicken’s eggs. Paired with vegan pesto and toast toppings, this is such a perfect savoury breakfast.
I got the idea for this recipe from a TikTok trend where people would cook a fried egg in pesto or chili oil in the pan. While I don’t eat eggs, I still wanted to try this out! I whipped up a quick vegan egg white, egg yolk, pesto and my favourite toast toppings! To save time in the morning, you can make the pesto, yolk mixture and egg white mixture ahead of time, then in the morning, cook and assemble!

Instead of toast, I used matzo. Happy Passover. I think I’m use less black salt next time.
