Omelette Batter
- 2/3 brick of medium-firm tofu (approx. 1 cup crumbled)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch/flour
- 1/2 tsp turmeric

INSTRUCTION FOR THE OMELETTE BATTER
- Place all the ingredients for the batter in a blender and combine until very smooth.
DIRECTIONS
- To make the filling, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, squash, and avocado in a medium bowl.
- Place aside. Mix the omelette batter, water, basil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Cooking spray should be generously used to coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet for each omelet. Over medium heat, preheat the skillet. A liberal 1/3 cup of the egg mixture should be added to the hot skillet.
- Begin stirring eggs immediately with a wooden spatula in a gentle, continuous motion until the mixture resembles cooked egg bits surrounded by liquid egg. Give up stirring. Cook the omelette batter for a further 30 to 60 seconds, or until it is set but glossy.
- Over one side of the omelet, spoon 1/2 cup of the filling. Omelet should be carefully folded over filling. Take off the omelet from the skillet very carefully.
- To make a total of 4 omelets, repeat the process, wiping the skillet clean with paper towels and spraying it with cooking spray in between each omelet.
- Each omelet should have 1 tablespoon of cheese on it. Add chives as a garnish if preferred.
