Ingredients
Scale
Vegan Hollandaise Sauce
- 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
Optional for Serving
- 8 slices of bread or English muffins, toasted
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- Cayenne pepper, for garnishing
- Paprika, for garnishing
- Freshly ground black pepper, for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Place the soft tofu, mustard, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, plant-based milk, olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, and turmeric into a blender. Blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Warm the sauce: Pour the blended hollandaise sauce into a saucepan and gently warm it over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, until heated through but not boiling.
- Assemble the sandwich (optional): Toast your bread slices or English muffins if desired. On each half, layer a slice of tomato and a few slices of avocado. Drizzle the warmed vegan hollandaise sauce generously over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper as preferred. Serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- Use soft tofu for a creamy texture; firm tofu will not blend as smoothly.
- Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less plant-based milk.
- Make sure to warm the sauce gently to avoid curdling.
- Optional garnishes add flavor complexity and visual appeal but can be omitted.
- This sauce pairs well with vegan eggs benedict, vegetables, or as a dip for savory snacks.
