Description

Hearty and flavorful tofu scramble, perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast or brunch. Loaded with veggies and cheesy goodness!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • One container sprouted tofu
  • Drizzle olive oil
  • 1/2 (113 g) medium yellow onion
  • 1 small jalapeño
  • 1 bell pepper
  • Chopped tomato
  • 2 cups (473 ml) baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup (59 ml) Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) freshly grated Daiya cheddar
  • 1/2 tsp Celtic or Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 4 tbsp (60 ml) water
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Add a few drizzles of olive oil to your cast iron pan over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeño, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened (about 4 minutes).
  2. Prepare your spices in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Remove tofu from package and drain. Crumble the tofu into the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes, until the water evaporates.
  4. Combine your spice mixture with water. Whisk until it reaches a thicker, sauce-like consistency, and pour over the tofu. Stir and cook for a few more minutes.
  5. Grate your cheese.
  6. Add the cheese and nutritional yeast to the pan. Stir thoroughly.
  7. Add spinach and tomatoes; cook until wilted.
  8. Top with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a creamier scramble, use silken tofu instead of sprouted tofu.
  • If you don’t have Daiya cheddar, nutritional yeast alone provides a cheesy flavor.
  • Store leftover scramble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
