Eggs Benedict is the ultimate brunch menu item. Hot fluffy English muffins and homemade hollandaise is combination fit for breakfast royalty- and breakfast royalty is what James and I like to consider ourselves. We love brunch. The issue with loving brunch in an omni/vegan relationships is that no brunch restaurant caters to both palates and dietary restrictions or preferences.

So, one lazy but hungry Saturday morning, we started what would be forever known as Brunch Saturdays at 700 (that is what we call our condo- cuz it’s the address). A brunch for both an omni and a vegan, with food that we actually like!! Vegan brunch options are often sad and boring and sad- did I say sad already?

When I was younger I loved eggs and I religiously ordered eggs benny when we went out for breakfast as a family. This love for eggs benny carried over into my adult life but was quickly squashed and thrown into a corner when I became vegan. Vegan eggs benedict recipes are few and far between. Let’s face it; we can’t eat eggs; so eating this dish doesn’t even really make sense.

Until one day I found The Vegg. The Vegg is a vegan egg replacer that mimics the taste, smell and texture of real eggs. PLUS it is created using nutritional yeast, so you know that it’s a great source of Vitamin B and that I instantly fell in love. After using it once, I knew I would be able to be vegan for ever and ever (not that I needed to be convinced), and also knew that I needed to find a way to use this eggy-vegan-magic to create the hollandaise sauce I was missing for so many years. If you have not tried The Vegg I encourage you to order some ASAP. Your vegan life will be forever changed- in an awesome eggy way!

Perfecting this dish is all about timing. Have all ingredients close at hand and move quickly. It has taken James and I both years to perfect the perfect hollandaise, so be patient, pay attention and of course, use only the best ingredients!
