Vegan Crispy Polenta Rounds
A delicious alternative to eggs on your vegan eggs benedict!
Prep Time 5 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried Polenta (Cornmeal)
- 2 cup Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- Oil for greasing
- Vegan Butter for frying
Instructions
- Grease a small 12-hole mini cupcake tray with some oil (or grease 6holes of a regular 12-hole muffin/cupcake tray).
- In a saucepan, place polenta, water, garlic powder, salt and nutritional yeast. Place on low-medium heat and cook for about 7-10 minutes until polenta gets really thick.
- Once thick, turn the heat off and stir in the soy sauce until well in corported.
- Spoon polenta mixture into the cupcake holes, pressing the mixture firmly in.
- Refrigerate overnight.
The Next Day
- In the morning, release polenta rounds from their moulds.
- You might like to turn the oven on to keep the polenta rounds hot while you make hollandaise after (I did this!)
- To cook (only cook as many as you want to eat), heat a generous amount of vegan butter in a non-stick saucepan. Fry polenta cakes on one side for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Don’t flip too soon because the polenta will stick to the pan – give it a chance to crisp up! Flip and then fry the other side for a few minutes until golden and crispy!
