I love scrambled eggs, but I’m also trying to eat more plant based foods. I love the tofu scramble and I used to buy a box of “Tofu Scramble” until I discovered it was pretty much a box of nutritional yeast priced triple what the yeast cost. So I experimented. This breakfast sandwich will have you hooked!
Here’s how scramble your tofu:
Not only does this taste great, it is so easy to make!
Start by draining the tofu.
Put it in a bowl with the yeast, turmeric, lemon pepper, garlic powder, salt, and smoked paprika.
Be sure to use only nutritional yeast. It is a deactivated yeast that comes in flakes, granules or powder. I use the flakes. It’s got a nutty flavor and has a lot of nutrients. It’s tasty sprinkled on top of baked potatoes too!
Using a fork, mash up the tofu with the seasonings until they are well mixed.
Heat the oil in a skillet and add the “eggs”. Gently sauté until the tofu starts to firm up.
Stir in the onion, bell pepper and tomatoes.
Cook until it’s all heated.
Put into a pita or flatbread and serve hot. So good!
