This recipe is perfect to fulfill the craving for soft and drippy yolks from fried eggs!

Paired with vegan pesto and toast toppings, this is such a perfect savoury breakfast.
I got the idea for this recipe from a TikTok trend where people would cook a fried egg in pesto or chili oil in the pan. While I don’t eat eggs, I still wanted to try this out! I whipped up a quick vegan egg white, egg yolk, pesto and my favourite toast toppings! To save time in the morning, you can make the pesto, yolk mixture and egg white mixture ahead of time, then in the morning, cook and assemble!
I'm going to show you how to make vegan fried eggs in just 20 minutes! Using simple vegan ingredients, you can have a fried egg white dripping with yolk.
Blend tofu, potato starch, and black salt until smooth
Vegan Egg Yolk:
Blend Vegg Yolk powder with ¼ cup of water until smooth.
Use store-bought vegan pesto or make my vegan Pesto recipe:
In a food processor blend basil, garlic, nuts of choice, nutritional yeast and vegan parmesan, if using. While the processor is blending, stream in olive oil ¼ cup at a time until the pesto is combined. Taste and season with salt.
Pesto Eggs Toast:
Over medium heat, heat a medium pan. Add pesto and give it a spread, so it coats the bottom of the pan.
Gently pour the vegan egg white into the pan.
Cook the vegan egg white for 2 minutes, then pour about 1 tbsp of vegan egg yolk onto each vegan egg white. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set.
Meanwhile, prepare your toast, and spread avocado or vegan chevre on top.
Gently, place the vegan fried egg onto the toast.
Drizzle with vegan honey or agave and enjoy.

To make this egg substitute for frying, combine 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of water until the mixture is lump free. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon of salt if desired. Use this mixture as you would regular eggs when frying foods.
Chia Egg: Mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to form a gel-like consistency, then use it as a substitute for one egg. Mashed Banana: 1/4 cup of mashed banana can be used to replace one egg in some recipes.
Contrary to belief, a trend among some vegans involves the inclusion of certain types of eggs into their diet. This 'veggan' diet, as it is known, is not truly vegan – instead, it is called ovo-vegetarian.
Due to its high sulfur content, black salt has a strong flavour that mimics the taste of eggs, making it a very popular ingredient in vegan cuisine. It works well in tofu scrambles, vegan egg salads, quiches, frittatas, and vegan French toast, although it should be used sparingly.
Traditional butter is made with churned milk or cream, which usually comes from cows (but it can also come from other animals like goats), and that's why it's not vegan. Many people also use margarine, which is similar to butter in texture and color, but it's usually made with plant-based fat instead of animal fat.
The bottom line. Strict vegans eliminate all animal foods, including eggs, for various reasons, but one of the major motivators is a concern for animal welfare. However, there is a trend among some vegans to include eggs in their diet if they're certain they come from hens that have been raised in an ethical manner.
Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Vegan Egg substitute is a vegan baking essential made with four simple and clean ingredients: potato starch, tapioca flour, baking soda, and psyllium husk fiber--no grains, soy, gluten or beans.
Mayonnaise. If you have a jar of mayo in the fridge, you can use 3 tablespoons in place of one egg. "Mayonnaise has been used as an egg substitute because of its moistening properties and is best suited for cakes with strong flavors, like spice cakes and chocolate cakes," Tutunjian says.
A flavorful swap that can save you time and effort, using mayo instead of egg wash will make breaded pork chops, chicken cutlets, and steak filets that much tastier!
If you're trying to cut back on calories, choose poached or boiled eggs. These cooking methods don't add any extra fat calories, so the meal will be lower in calories than fried or scrambled eggs or an omelet.
Vegan eggs are usually plant-based alternatives that mimic the texture and function of traditional eggs without using animal products. Common ingredients in vegan egg substitutes include tofu, chickpea flour, flaxseed, chia seeds, and various plant-based ingredients.
And although there are plant-based eggs on the market, Les Merveilloeufs sets itself apart from other vegan eggs because it features a yolk and an outer shell similar to a hen-derived egg.
Chickpea flour, cornstarch, soy lecithin, and avocado make for some of the best egg yolk substitutes. Chia seeds and flax seeds may be more well known replacements for whole eggs, but nevertheless, can be successfully implemented where yolks are called for as well!
Veganism is a lifestyle and dietary choice that abstains from all animal products, including eggs, cheese, and any other dairy products. Vegans avoid consuming animal products for various reasons, including ethical concerns about animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and health considerations.
