Eggless Benedict

Well...I took a leap of faith on this dish tonight and was pleasantly surprised. It's from the blog VeganPandamonium.blogspot.com and it wasn't very hard to make at all. Here's the recipe...

Eggless Benedict

Ingredients:
asparagus
olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Tofurky's Ham Deli Slices
toast or english muffin (whatever is available or preferred)
extra firm tofu

Hollandaise sauce:
3/4 cup of soft tofu
2 tsp mustard
4 TBL nutritional yeast
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup soymilk
1 TBL olive oil
2 tsp soy sauce
pinch paprika
pinch turmeric
salt & pepper to taste

Tofu marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 TBL vinegar (I used white wine vinegar)
2 TBL soy sauce

Start by mixing the marinade for the tofu in a bowl. Slice as much extra firm tofu as desired and marinate for about 15-20 minutes. While marinading, cover asparagus with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake in the oven at 425 degrees until bright green and crispy (will take about 15-20 minutes). While waiting for the tofu and asparagus, you can blend all the ingredients for the hollandaise sauce in a blender and set aside. Toast your bread of choice and grill a couple of slices of ham on a grill pan over medium heat. After that, you can set the ham aside and grill the tofu slices until nice and browned and crispy. At this point, all you need to do is assemble your egg-less benedict and sprinkle the top with a bit of pepper and paprika.

Worth the try and a great substiture for eggs benedict.
