Dairy free scrambled eggs
This isn’t just any egg and hummus sandwich combination. There is a layer of hummus spread onto the toast PLUS some whisked into the eggs.
The hummus adds some plant-based protein and fat to the eggs. Creating soft and creamy scrambled eggs without adding milk
It’s the secret to the flavor and texture to this dish.
Ingredients
- hummus – from a store-bought package or homemade recipe. Use any flavor you like.
- spices – salt, pepper, granulated garlic & ground turmeric powder
- whole eggs
- olive oil – to coat the pan
- bread – to make an open face sandwich. Double this amount for a closed one
- arugula – or another kind of leafy green vegetable
- cucumber – I used small Persian cucumbers here, but larger ones can be used too.
How to make scrambled eggs without milk
Start by thinning out the hummus – Scoop the hummus into a mixing bowl with some water. Mix until it’s a runny liquid consistency.
Add the eggs & spices – Crack the eggs into the hummus bowl and add the spices. Whisk until everything is well combined.
Move over to the stove – Preheat a non-stick pan with a little olive oil (or butter) in it.
Carefully pour the eggs into the pan. Leave them undisturbed for a minute before using a rubber spatula to pull them away from the bottom of pan to create curds of scrambled eggs. Wait another minute. Then use the spatula again.
Continue running the spatula across the pan every minute until the eggs are mostly cooked, about 4 minutes in total. Turn off the heat and let eggs sit in pan for another minute to finish cooking.
A Helpful Tip: use the timer on your phone or oven to help you keep track of the cooking times.
