METHOD
Mix it up. Add the pre-soaked yellow lentils and all other ingredients to a high speed blender and blend for 30-60 seconds.
Heat fry pan to a medium heat. Add a half teaspoon of neutral oil (canola for example) or plant-based butter.
Get flippin'! Using the blended mixture you can pour it into the pan to cook as an "omelette" or scramble it up as you would a scrambled egg mixture. It would also be a great egg substitute in a vegan quiche! If making an "omelette" I treat it like cooking a pancake where I watch for bubbles popping and not instantly refilling before flipping. It cooks very quickly, even on a medium heat, keep this in mind if scrambling as it will solidify quite quickly when it hits the pan.
Serve. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes from Sam:
*Any plant-based milk is great, I use oat milk with great results.
**I leave the oil out and find the texture to be better.
***I only put in ¾ tsp to 1 tsp of baking powder so that it's not so cakey.
My favourite blender hack: Check to see if you have a mason jar that fits the base of your blender and you can screw the blade right on to the base of the jar you'll be storing the liquid in. This saves washing up a blender jug!
