Recipe:

Vegan Mushroom Omelette

MAKES 2 large omelettes
PREP TIME 20 minutes
COOK TIME 35 minutes

Ingredients:

OMELETTE BATTER
2/3 brick of mediumfirm tofu (approx. 1 cup crumbled)
1/2 cup nondairy milk
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 tablespoons chickpea flour
2 tablespoons tapioca starch/flour
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional) * can sub chili powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons vegan butter (for frying omelette)

FILLING
1 cup mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, finely chopped
sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese

Place all the ingredients for the batter in a blender and combine until very smooth.

For the filling, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat with vegetable oil. Once hot sauté the mushrooms until mostly cooked, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and wipe clean so you can make the omelette in the same pan.

Reduce the heat to mediumlow. Add a coating of vegan butter to the surface of the pan. Pour some of the omelette batter into the centre and spread it out until it's about 1/4" thick. It will take about 3 to 4 minutes to cook on the first side. You'll notice the batter being cooked through and getting darker in colour around the perimeter of the omelette.

At this point add in some of the cooked mushrooms, finely chopped green onion, and shredded cheese to one side of the omelette. After 30 more seconds or so you can use a spatula and lift one side and fold it over to create a half moon shape.

After another 30 seconds or so gently flip the omelette over on to the other side.

Cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to really melt well inside, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
