Equipment

Ingredients

¾ cup of soft tofu
2 teaspoons of mustard
4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
1 ½ teaspoons of lemon juice
½ cup of plain unsweetened plant-based milk
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of soy sauce
Pinch of paprika
Pinch of turmeric
Salt & pepper, to taste
8 slices of bread or English muffins (whatever is available or preferred), toasted (optional)
1 tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
1 avocado, thinly sliced (optional)
Cayenne pepper, for garnishing (optional)
Paprika, for garnishing (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper, for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

Place the soft tofu, mustard, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, plant-based milk, oil, soy sauce, paprika, and turmeric in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the hollandaise sauce.
Optionally, to assemble a sandwich: On each half muffin or toast, place a slice of tomato and a few slices of avocado. Drizzle the warmed hollandaise sauce on top and sprinkle the sauce with a bit of pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Notes

Use soft tofu: It’s important to use the correct kind to achieve the super creamy vegan Hollandaise sauce consistency.

The turmeric is for color: You only need a little to provide the classic yellow color.

Season to taste: Taste it after blending and then season to taste with salt and pepper and adjust any of the other flavors (mustard, lemon juice, etc.)

To adjust the consistency: The amount of plant-based milk added will directly affect how thick the sauce is.
