I served this simple, 3-ingredient Tofu Scramble up Eggs Benedict style. Not only is this recipe vegan and gluten-free but the faux Hollandaise sauce is made with your everyday condiments and requires no cooking. When you’d rather spend more time on eating than cooking, then what’s the problem right?!
I’ve actually not had eggs benedict since becoming vegan so this was a pretty satisfying breakfast, though I have to say, I will make my own sauce next time so watch this space for the recipe. It was Sunday and I wanted to chill, what can I say!
If you’re more of a sunny-side up eggs person, then you might prefer my Vegan Fry Up recipe to this scrambled eggs recipe you got here!
