I am so excited to bring this recipe to you today! I’ve used this vegan hollandaise sauce so many times as part of a delicious big breakfast! Use this sauce to top toasted english muffins, veggie ham and fried tofo! Just like that you have a cruelty free, easy benny!
The extra special ingredient we need to make this vegan hollandaise sauce just like the real deal is Himalayan Black Salt (amazon link)-also known as Kala Namak. This salt is traditionally used in Indian Cuisine, and its really special because it mimics the sulfur taste and smell of egg. This is my secret ingredient to anything egg! Its AMAZING and a complete asset in the vegan kitchen!

Recipe Notes
I have tried this recipe using a softer tofu to mimic a softer egg, however I found it more difficult to work with than the extra firm tofu.Â
If you have time to plan this recipe ahead, your tofu would benefit from being sliced and marinated in the spices anywhere from 1/2 an hour to overnight to really up the flavour!
I’ve really enjoyed this topped with smoked paprika, but its not for everyone, so simply sub a sweet paprika instead if the smoky flavour is a little much for you?
I really hope you guys give this recipe a try. it’s totally worth finding the Himalayan Black salt-I promise. I just ordered mine from amazon, but I bet some Indian grocery stores, or specialty spice stores would have it if you have access to these!

Until next time guys,
Easy and delish! I added minced parsley and mashed capers a cap full of dry vermouth and cap of apple cider vinegar for switch on the second day.
This is great. Next time I will leave out the nutritional yeast in the sauce. Did not have a fresh lemon so I used 5 T lemon juice, I kept adding to brighten the flavor and distract from the flavor of the nutritional yeast.
Glad you enjoyed it Laurie! It’s one of our absolute favorites here 🙂
WOW! This is hollindaise SO simple to put together and tastes amazing! I love the lemon flavor and I really think this recipe tastes SUPER close to regular hollidaise made with butter and egg yolks. I am pretty new to vegan and love to cook but want excellent flavor that does not have a bunch of preservatives in it. I think I might take the base recipe for the roux you have (vegan butter, flour, and soy milk) and use that to make/create some other sauces. Maybe “cheez” sauce for macaroni? maybe egg dipping sauce? ‘alfredo sauce’ for lasagna? This possibilities go on and on! Thanks for this.
You bet! In fact I’ve used that base for all of the above sauces you’re talking about (but a girl’s only got so much time to put the recipes up here for you all 😉 That’s fantastic you’re taking the initiative to come up with some on your own! Enjoy!

What a fabulous idea!! I especially cant wait to try the hollandaise sauce!!! Another great recipe!
Thanks Maggie! This is one of my most favourite! I hope you’ll let me know what you think of the sauce! I’m always open to tweaking a recipe until it’s just right!
OMGeeeee! This recipe sounds delicious! I’d love to give it a whirl sometime, and it seems pretty simple to follow (so even a crap cook like me wouldn’t balls it up LOL) x
LOL!!! This sauce is way more forgiving than a traditional Hollandaise where you could end up with a pot of scrambled eggs if you aren’t careful! you can do it!!
This looks delicious. I wonder if my friend has tried to make this recipe for her vegan son. I’ll be sure to share it with her.
Oh I would love for you to share it!! My kids enjoy this salad a lot. They like to pick the edamame and play with the spiralized zucchini lol!
Yum, yum, yum-my! This is just what I needed! I’m vegan and always on the lookout for delicious recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Gotta love vegan mayo:) I’m glad you like the recipe:)
OMG– I’d love to taste test this. I haven’t been able to tolerate eggs for almost two years now, and eggs benedict used to be one of my favorites. If this comes anywhere even close to that taste, I’m telling you, I am all in!
Girl trust me!! You will be impressed:) I honestly couldn’t tell the difference. And I fed it to my sister who loves eggs Benedict and is t vegan and she says it’s pretty spot on:) give it a try! Then let me know what you think!
This will be my kids new favorite food, it is easy to make so I might try this at home
Thank you! I hope the kids enjoy:)
Wow, I have never seen a way to make a hollendaise sauce vegan. This sounds really interesting.
I made this out of desperation my friend lol! But it was so worth it! I hope you give it a try-it doesn’t taste vegan I promise!
Yum, yum, yum! I love eggs Benedict. This looks like a great alternative recipe!
Thank you!! The sauce is much more forgiving than the traditional egg based hollandaise. You don’t need to worry about having scrambled eggs on your hands!
looks super delicious! Eggplant is one of my favorites in veggies so I think it tastes the best no matter how you make it
This looks like such a yummy vegan version of one of my all-time brunch favorites!!
Thank you! It’s on the top of my list too:)
This couldn’t have came at a better time! I just switched up my diet and this looks DELICIOUS!!
I really hope you like it Natalie, and I hope it gives you more options:)
Healthy. Delicious and looks very nice. What are we waiting for? Let’s eat that already
LOL!!! Thanks Michael!
I’ve never had eggs benedict before (believe it or not), so this is a must-try for me!
