Vegan Hollandaise


Which kind of sounds 'non-appetizing'... I will be the first to admit that there is no sex appeal in the sound of this one.  At the same time, desperate times calls for creativity.  We have a long standing tradition in my family of eggs benedict and lots of mimosas on Christmas morning.  Whereas the mimosas require no adaptation, I wanted to be able to toast baby Jesus with both the drink and our traditional food this year.  By golly, I think that it WILL be done! The plan: english muffin, grilled portobello mushroom, grilled asparagus - or possibly grilled green onion - all drizzled with this.....

1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 TBSP flour
1 cup water
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
juice from 1/2 to 1 whole lemon

Whisk all the ingredients together - except the mustard - in a sauce pan over medium heat.  This sauce is prone to burning, so make sure and stir frequently.  Once it becomes noticeably thicker, add the mustard and simmer on low for a few minutes.   Enjoy!
