VEGAN FRENCH TOAST

 

 

FRENCH TOAST

 

1 cup soy milk

12 ounce container silken tofu

Your choice of bread—Rudi’s® OR OTHER VEGAN BREAD

Heat electric fry pan to 325°.  Meanwhile, blend soy milk and silken tofu in a food processor until smooth.  Pour into a bowl.  Soak a slice of bread in the mixture for a few seconds, turn to make sure both sides are coated.  Coat fry pan with cooking spray.  Fry bread until brown turning once.  This makes enough liquid for about 10 pieces of bread.  Serve with Earth Balance® buttery spread and real maple syrup. 

 

 

 

 

 Or you can top with a Berry Cream Cheese topping:

1- 8 ounce container vegan cream cheese--GoVeggie®   Follow Your Heart®   Daiya®

2 cups fresh berries—strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.  You can mix or match.

¾ cup stevia or organic cane sugar

Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Vegan "Ricotta"

VEGAN “RICOTTA”

Vegan ricotta is hard to find, but you can easily make your own.  This is great to use in lasagna, manicotti, and on pizzas.

4 cups soy milk (I use Silk® as it is GMO free)

8 ounce   container  GoVeggie®  Vegan cream cheese (purple package)

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons white vinegar

Pour the milk into a pot and whisk the cream cheese in until the mixture is smooth.  Stir in the salt.  Bring the mixture, using medium heat, to a full boil, stirring often.  Turn off the heat and stir in vinegar.  Let this sit for several minutes.  The mixture will separate into thick parts and milky parts. Meanwhile, set a large fine sieve over a deep bowl. 

When the mixture has separated enough, pour it into the sieve and allow it to drain in the bowl at room temperature for about a half hour.  The longer you let it drain, the thicker the ricotta.  When done, transfer the ricotta into a bowl and put into the refrigerator.  It will keep for about 5 days.  You can save the liquid “whey” and use it in other recipes.

 Vegan easy, vegan better.
