Looking for the perfect vegan brunch recipe? This vegan eggs benedict will have you covered. Easy “eggy” tofu and hollandaise like we remember growing up!

Is it time for Sunday brunch yet? I don’t know about you, but no matter what day it is, I’m always ready for a big savory breakfast. This vegan eggs benedict is the perfect full-flavored alternative to the traditional version. Made with an eggy tofu patty seasoned to perfection and smothered with a rich and creamy plant-based hollandaise sauce, this vegan egg benedict is sure to hit all of the spots.

The easiest vegan hollandaise sauce made with simple ingredients! No eggs are needed to put this together and you won’t even notice their missing. All that you need is lemon, vegan butter, almond milk, dijon mustard, spices, and tofu!

In my omnivore days, getting eggs benedict at a restaurant was my go-to. Similarly, when I go out for breakfast now, I always keep my out for the vegan benedict. It’s just such a comforting dish that never disappoints. One of the first vegan versions of eggs benedict I had the pleasure of trying was at Blossom in New York City. After that, I knew anything was possible!

This vegan eggs benedict recipe is simple to make. The hollandaise sauce can be whipped up by tossing all of the ingredients in the blender and boom; you’ll have hollandaise for days. Aside from the sauce, you’ll need some tofu, seasonings, English muffins, and slices of vegan ham. I’m honestly so glad that I was able to recreate such a fancy dish with ease and minimal ingredients. It’s safe to say that I’ll be making this vegan eggs benedict often, and you should too!

This recipe is part of our challenge series and this month we are all about breakfast (and brunch!). While I made this Benedict, Jasmine whipped up a delicious vegan quiche with spinach, artichokes, and a whole bunch of other goodness (pictured above).

Instructions

Eggy Tofu Patties

1. Cut your tofu into squares by slicing about an inch off the bottom. Turn the block on its side then slice down the middle long ways in 1/4-1/2 inch increments. This will yield 3-4 slices depending on how thick you cut them. 
2. In a medium-large sized sealable container, add in your tofu pieces along with some olive oil fully coating both sides of the tofu.
3. In a separate small bowl combine all of the spices and mix them together. Generously sprinkle spice mixture over the tofu covering one side. Flip the tofu and cover the side as well.
4. Close the container and allow the tofu to marinate for about 15 minutes.
5. Once the tofu is fully marinated, add all-purpose flour to a large plate. Dip each tofu patty into the all-purpose flour, fully coating each side. Shake off any excess flour and place onto the pan.
6. Heat a large pan on medium heat lightly coated in oil. Cook the tofu patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the tofu is golden. 
7. Once tofu patties are cooked, place them on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.

Hollandaise Sauce

1. In a food processor, add in all ingredients and blend on high until you have a smooth sauce like consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add small amounts of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Assembly

1. On a plate, place one half of an English muffin. Layering on a slice of vegan ham, steamed spinach, a tofu patty, and a generous pour of hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chives, dill and/or green onions. Repeat with the remaining 3 servings. Enjoy! 

Notes

Kala Namak, also known as “Indian black salt” or “Himalayan black salt”, is formed by heating Himalayan Pink Salt to extremely high temperatures and mixing it with Indian spices and herbs including harad fruit seeds which contain sulfur. It has a distinctive taste due to the sulfur, comparable to hard-boiled eggs.
