Tofu Scramble

Tofu Scramble 

Servings: 2

One of my favorite quick breakfasts, this basic tofu scramble recipe is a staple which lends to easy customization and improvising with any fresh ingredients you have on hand. 

Ingredients:

1/2 pound of extra firm tofu, drained

1/4 cup nutritional yeast (Add up to 1/2 cup for an extra cheesy scramble)

half of one small onion diced

1 green pepper diced (I used half green and half red pepper here)

2 tbsp of Earth Balance or olive oil

Pinch of turmeric

1 tsp garlic powder (or fresh garlic finely minced)

1 tsp Italian seasoning (or herbs of your choice)

Salt & Pepper to taste 

Preparation:

1. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add Earth Balance or Olive oil. Add onion and lightly sauté until translucent. Add peppers and spices, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

2. Add tofu, being sure to squeeze out all excess water over the sink. Stir to combine and add turmeric. Lower heat to low and continue to cook until heated all the way through. Add nutritional yeast and stir to combine. For extra cheesiness, 1 tbsp of Vegenaise can be added in addition to the extra nutritional yeast. 

3. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve garnished with fresh herbs and a big cup of coffee!
