Happy Valentine’s Day: Vegan “Eggs” Benedict

Bychristy

Before I left for Thailand I had the opportunity to film a cooking segment with Supreme Master TV for Valentine’s Day. It was a ton of fun shooting with their team. I got a bunch of vegan friends together at Loving Hut to have a viewing party. Of course I only took photos of our delicious food and not of our beautiful group, oops. Review on Loving Hut coming soon! Now onto the food and video! Check their website to see what time it’s airing online in your location. In Los Angeles, it’s 11:30/5:30 am/pm.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, except oil, thoroughly and then set aside. Spray large skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium flame.

Stir in veggies and serve immediately.
