Vegan Breakfast Gravy

Vegan Breakfast Gravy

Give the onions time to turn sweet and this gravy starts tasting savory before the milk ever goes in. The herb-scented sauce pools over split biscuits in a thick, creamy layer.

Butter Club Notes

Most vegetarian gravies taste like they're trying to replace something. This one doesn't. It stands on its own. The onions cook long enough to develop real sweetness, the nutritional yeast adds that deep savory flavor, and the herbs make it feel like breakfast the minute it hits the table. If I'm making biscuits, home fries, or scrambled tofu, there's a pretty good chance this gravy is coming with them.
