April 8, 2024
Brunch is the best meal of the week, and there’s no better time for brunch than spring. Because of these reasons, we’re bringing you a hearty waffle paired with a decadent cheddar fondue atop fresh vegetables and egg-like tofu ragout. Each bite melts in your mouth while you wait for that next round of mimosas. Is it Sunday yet?
What you need:
For the waffles:
3 cups unbleached flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups soy milk
⅓ cup orange juice
⅓ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cheddar fondue:
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon miso
1 can full-fat coconut milk, ¼ cup liquid set aside
1 tablespoon arrowroot
For the ragout:
1 block (14-ounces) extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon turmeric
¾ teaspoon Himalayan black salt (Kala Namak)
½ head cauliflower
1 cup snow peas, trimmed halved
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced on a bias
For the garnish:
Chopped parsley
What you do:
- For the waffles, preheat waffle maker. In a medium bowl, combine all waffle ingredients until smooth, being careful not to over-mix. Prepare waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- For the cheddar fondue, in a saucepan, combine all ingredients except coconut milk and arrowroot. Once smooth, create a slurry with reserved coconut milk and arrowroot, and stir into the mixture. Keep stirring until mixture thickens slightly.
- For the tofu, press and drain tofu 25 minutes. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a medium pan, add tofu and spices, and stir until well combined and cooked through.
- For the vegetables, in a separate pan, heat remaining tablespoon of oil, add cauliflower, snow peas, and carrots and sauté until tender but still crunchy.
- Top with heaping ¼ cup tofu mixture followed by ¼ cup vegetable mixture, finished with ¼ cup cheddar fondue. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
