Vegan Hollandaise

Ingredients

-2 to 2 1/2 Tablespoons The Vegg powder
-1/3 cup vegan butter, melted (5 TBSP)

-1/8 teaspoon Dijon mustard

-1/4 cup vegan mayo
-3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
-1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water
-2 Pinches Cayenne Pepper

-1 teaspoon salt

-1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Combine the 1 1/2 cups hot water and The Vegg in a food processor. I started with 1 1/2 cups water, just in case you want the sauce thinner later. Blend The Vegg until smooth and no lumps. 

The Vegg

The Vegg Made

Once you have made The Vegg, add in your lemon juice and mix to combine.

You can add the rest of your ingredients (except the butter) and blend until combined as well. 

1/4 Cup Vegan Mayo 

All Ingredients Combined for Sauce
(Except Vegan Butter)

In a measuring cup, add your vegan butter and melt in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds until completely melted. 

Vegan Butter, Melted

Once your vegan butter is melted, slowly add it to the ingredients already mixed. Puree until combined and glossy. 

Vegan Butter Added to the Sauce

Completed Sauce

At this point you can check the consistency and add more water if you prefer a thinner sauce. I liked the consistency with 1 1/2 cups but it does gel up when set. 

Ready to Serve 

Vegan Hollandaise

The vegan hollandaise is ready to use at this point. Serve it on roasted asparagus, steamed veggies, tofu eggs, and/or toast. Like I said the mixture will start to gel slowly when made. If you want it thinner after storing overnight, simply heat up and add a little bit of hot water to thin out in the food processor until the consistency is to your liking. Store the sauce covered in the refrigerator in a airtight container. Enjoy!
