Ultra-Eggy Tofu Breakfast Scramble
A super-eggy tofu scramble with savory spices and a silky sauce—hearty, satisfying and protein-packed, perfect for fast weekday breakfasts.
Instructions
Step 1: Crumble the tofu
Drain and pat dry the tofu, then mash with a fork into medium curds—leave some larger pieces for texture (8oz (226g) extra-firm tofu).
Step 2: Whisk the sauce
In a bowl, combine nutritional yeast, turmeric, paprika, Dijon, garlic powder, black salt and onion powder. Pour in the soy milk and whisk into a smooth, pourable sauce.
Step 3: Sauté the tofu
Melt the vegan butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook 3–4 minutes, stirring gently so it browns in spots without breaking up too much.
Step 4: Fold in the sauce
Pour the sauce over the tofu and fold to coat. Cook 2–4 minutes until the tofu absorbs some sauce and reaches your preferred consistency—looser or drier.
Step 5: Finish and serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with black pepper and chives. Serve hot with fried tomatoes and sliced avocado.
