This is one of the most easiest batch recipes to make for quick breakfast builds during the work week.  You can double the recipe and have extra for “eggs on toast” or build a burrito with avocado and your favorite salsa.  They re-heat great and taste just as good as they did right out of the skillet!

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 oz extra firm tofu

1/2 tsp each of turmeric powder, paprika, and garlic powder

1/4 tsp each of kala namak (black salt) and onion powder

1 tsp dijon mustard

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or other milk alternative

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

1 tbsp vegan butter, Earth Balance or Melt brands

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Instructions

Remove tofu from packaging and place on top of a few paper towels.  Add more paper towels on top and either lightly press with hands or place a small cutting board over the tofu for weight.  This will soak up the water from the tofu.  you will want to continue doing this until the tofu is as dry as possible.

Add tofu to a medium mixing bowl and crumble up with your fingers.  In a separate smaller bowl, combine turmeric, paprika, garlic, kala namak, onion powder, mustard, salt, pepper, and almond milk.  Whisk together until smooth.

Pour seasoning mixture into bowl with tofu.  Using your hands or a fork, mash ingredients together until fully incorporated.  It will appear wet and mushy.

Preheat a pan over medium heat, add “butter” to melt and then tofu scramble.  Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until most of the almond milk has evaporated.  Add chopped spinach and sliced cherry tomatoes and cook a bit longer until heated through.  Serve immediately or refrigerate for breakfast throughout the week.

Notes

*For vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini, simply remove tofu scramble from the pan and sauté vegetables until water has been cooked out of them.  Then, add tofu back into the pan and stir in delicate herbs or spinach.
