Tamari Mushrooms Vegan Omelette with Avocado Cashew Cheese
Ingredients
Omelette base
- 5 ounces firm silken tofu, drained and gently patted dry
- 2 Tbsp hummus
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Filling
- Tamari mushrooms
- Kale
- Mashed avocado
- Cashew cream cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
Prep veggies, drain and dry tofu, and mince garlic. Set aside.
Heat a small-to-medium, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until just lightly golden brown.
Transfer garlic to food processor, along with remaining omelet ingredients (tofu - cornstarch) and mix to combine, scraping down sides as needed. Add just a touch of water to thin, 1-2 Tbsp at most. Set aside.
To the still-warm skillet over medium heat, add a bit more olive oil and the veggies. Season with salt and pepper and sauté to desired doneness. Set aside.
Remove skillet from heat and make sure it’s coated with enough oil so the omelet doesn’t stick. Spoon on the omelet batter, spreading it gently with a spoon or rubber spatula, being careful not to tear or cause gaps. The thinner and more evenly you can spread it, the better. You may not use all the batter.
Cook over medium heat on the stove top for 5 minutes until the edges start to dry. Then place in oven and bake until dry and deep golden brown, 10-15 minutes. The longer it bakes, the less soft or wet it will be, so for a more well done omelet, bake closer to 15 minutes or more.
Using an oven mitt, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and fold the omelette over gently with a spatula. If it doesn’t want to fold, serve as a frittata or scramble.
