Easy vegan fried egg recipe

Total time: 1 hour

I love making myself a vegan fry-up on a Sunday morning. It feels like tradition almost, a very British habit. And all it was missing was a fried egg with a runny creamy yolk.

This vegan fried egg is easy to create and requires zero science! As long as you are happy with the ‘egg’ yolk being runny before serving.

Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 4 people
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: British

Ingredients
  

Vegan Egg Yolk
  • 200 g Oat milk or any other plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp Rapeseed oil
  • 40 g nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp Black salt
  • 1/2 tsp Asafoetida
  • 1/4 tsp Ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tbsp agave
  • 1/4 tsp Mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp Tomato powder only if you have!
Vegan Egg White
  • 100 ml Oat milk I use oat
  • 100 ml aquafaba
  • 75 g Silken tofu
  • 80 g Rice flour
  • 20 g Tapioca flour if you don't have, use more rice flour
  • 1/2 tsp Black salt
  • 1/4 tsp White pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Golden caster sugar

Equipment

  • High-powered blender
  • Metal crumpet ring

Method
 

Make the vegan egg yolk
  1. Put all the vegan egg yolk ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Put into a bowl for serving
Make the vegan egg whites
  1. Clean the blender and add all the egg white ingredients until it, blend until smooth, and set aside
  2. Get a frying pan on the hob on a medium to high heat
  3. If you have them, place the metal rings into the hot pan and pour spoonfuls of the blended 'egg' white mix into the rings
  4. If you don't have any rings, pour the mix straight into the pan and let it form its own shape (like a fried egg would). You may need to cook them one-by-one
  5. Cook the vegan egg whites in the rings for about 4 minutes, until crispy on the bottom. Then you can remove the rings and either flip the whites over to cook the over side (much quicker), or you can put a lid on the top of the pan and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes.
To Serve
  1. Remove the egg whites from the pan and place onto a slice of bread, or even better, an English breakfast muffin.
  2. Pour the egg yolk mix over the top
  3. Enjoy your lazy Sunday morning in vegan egg paradise!

Notes

I recommend serving these with my Spelt English Breakfast Muffins.
