Tofu Egg Breakfast Scramble Recipes

TOFU EGG BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper together well in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Preheat a medium or small fry pan on medium heat. Add the butter and once melted add the onion and tofu. Sauté, breaking the tofu into small pieces until everything is lightly browned all over.
• Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes more and then add the spinach. After spinach has wilted (about 30 seconds) add the egg.
• Using a spatula stir the eggs until they are cooked through and then serve with your favourite breakfast accompaniments.

EASY TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into bite-sized irregular shaped pieces. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don't worry, it should only take a few seconds!) Stir in the olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper.
• Add the cumin and garlic powder to a dry skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tofu and increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and starting to lightly brown. Remove the heat and place it on the serving plates. Serve with toast, veggie saute (below), or if you want to get fancy, vegan bacon.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Thinly slice the bell pepper. Heat the olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and peppers. Cook 4 to 6 minutes until just starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt and the baby greens. Cook for 30 seconds until wilted. Remove from the heat and serve alongside the tofu scramble.

VEGAN TOFU "EGGS"

Steps:

• Generously spray a skillet with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add tofu, using your hands to crumble the block into smaller pieces; cook for 4 minutes.
• Stir in nutritional yeast, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and turmeric. Cook until seasonings have been incorporated, breaking tofu apart with a spatula to desired consistency, about 1 minute. Stir in almond milk and cook until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.

TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
• In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
• Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
• Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

SCRAMBLED EGG WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Blend egg, tarragon, hot sauce, salt and pepper in a small bowl with a fork. Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 20 to 30 seconds. Add egg mixture and stir until the egg is set, but still creamy, 20 to 30 seconds. Serve immediately.

TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion for 8 -10 mins or until golden brown and sticky. Stir in the garlic, turmeric, cumin and paprika and cook for 1 min.
• Roughly mash the tofu in a bowl using a fork, keeping some pieces chunky. Add to the pan and fry for 3 mins. Raise the heat, then tip in the tomatoes, cooking for 5 mins more or until they begin to soften. Fold the parsley through the mixture. Serve on its own or with toasted rye bread (not gluten-free), if you like.
