Ingredients
Omelette
- 150g silken tofu
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour *See Notes
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 7 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlicSalt + pepper to taste
Fillings
- 1/4 red onion, chopped
- 3 mini bell peppers, chopped
- 1 handful spinach or greens
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms **
- 1/4 cup vegan cheese optional
Instructions
- Blend the omelette ingredients in a blender until smooth. I go heavy on the seasonings, as this really creates the flavor of the omelette.
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken up, while you cook the fillings.
- To cook the fillings, add a little olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook a few minutes, until they begin to soften. Then add in the peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. Cook a few minutes longer until the veggies are softened. Remove the veggies from the pan and place on a plate.
- Add half (or all) of the mixture to the pan, spreading it out into a circle - you can make them small or large like I did. Cover & allow to cook for 6-10 mins until the top is dry. Add your fillings & flip one side over. Remove to a plate & add your toppings.
- You can make one large omelette or two small ones. If making small ones, add 1/2 the mixture to the pan, spreading it out into a circle. Be sure not to make it too thin, as you don't want it to break. Cover and let cook 6-10 minutes until the top is dried out.
- Add 1/2 the filling to one side. You can sprinkle on a little vegan cheese shreds if you'd like. Then gently flip the other side over, forming the omelette.
- Serve with desired toppings and enjoy immediately.
Notes
*Chickpea flour can be found at most grocery stores! I usually buy mine at Kroger or Whole Foods! I haven't tested any subs for this and am not sure if other flours would work.
