I think I have peaked in life with this creation! These are high protein deviled eggs made out of tofu! The eggwhite part is made from extra firm silken tofu and agar agar, and the "yolk" filling is made from firm tofu!
Servings
Ingredients
"Yolk" Filling
- 7 oz Firm Tofu
- 1 tbsp Vegan Mayo
- 1 1/4 tbsp White Vinegar
- 3/4 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 1/4 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Black Salt (Indian Himalayan Black Salt, gives eggy taste)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
"Egg Whites"
- 1 cup Soy Milk unsweetened, original
- 11 oz Extra Firm Silken Tofu I used Mori Nu
- 1 1/2 tbsp Agar Agar (powder)
- 1/4 tsp Black Salt (Indian Himalayan Black Salt, gives eggy taste)
- Paprika (optional)
Instructions
Making the Filling
- Put firm tofu in a cheese cloth and squeeze all of the excess water you can out of it; this will give it a much better texture. It should basically be completely smooshed when you're done and difficult to get additional water out.
- In the food processor, combine the drained tofu and other ingredients listed under "Yolk Filling" section. Let run for a minute or two until very creamy.
Making the "Egg Whites"
- In a blender, blend the silken tofu until creamy.
- In a small pot on low heat, add soy milk, salt and agar agar. Whisk until well combined. Do not let this boil, you just want the agar agar to dissolve. I only left it on the heat for maybe 3 - 4 minutes, whisking regularly. Take off heat.
- Immediately add in the creamy silken tofu and whisk together until smooth.
- This will start to set pretty quickly so evenly distribute this mixture filling your egg molds. I got about 12 "half eggs" from this.
- Put in fridge and allow to set for 30 minutes to an hour.
Assembly
- Check your eggwhites to ensure they're completely set. You should be able to pop them out of the molds easily.
- With a small spoon (I used a small measuring spoon), scoop out a little of the top of your egg half (like you would see with a real hard boiled egg).
- Fill each of them with the filling. Sprinkle some paprika on top if you are feeling fancy.
