I have tried nutritional yeast on eggs, it was great but a lot of yeast to a little bit of egg.

Have you tried it with cottage cheese? Does it mix into drinks or is it better as a food? It seems almost chewy, is it best to mix with similarly chewy foods?

I've heard it is great on popcorn but I haven't gotten any of that yet.

I have a medium sized tub of this stuff, and I know it is rather tasty! I want to use it up. What are your favorite ways to eat it?

    mmm on popcorn is great!
    I also use it on things that usually require parmesan lol; spaghetti sauces, soups, etc... Even on salads! :-)

    I make a "cheese" sauce with it for a vegan Mac and cheese yum. There is a good recipe in the veganomicon cookbook.

    I make a sauce using nutritional yeast, mustard and water. It is delicious for breakfast if you put a poached egg on a piece of toast drizzle some of the sauce on it and add lettuce, tomato, sprouts (whatever you desire over top) and eat. My mom used to make it growing up and it is my favorite breakfast of all time.

    Sprinkle on salad or you mix with salad dressing (apple cider vinegar/olive oil) to make your own dressing.

    I just use it on popcorn. I do have a soup recipe with it in. I could picture sprinkling it in soups as a garnish, too.
