How to Make Basic Breakfast Tofu Scramble

  1. Spray a large non-stick skillet generously with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  2. Crumble one block (14 oz) of extra-firm tofu into the pan.
  3. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu begins to release some of its water and brown slightly.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), and 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. Mix well to combine evenly.
  5. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the tofu is starting to brown and crisp.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup unsweetened soy creamer (or almond/soy milk), 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate, until the scramble is fluffy and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately with toast or your favorite breakfast sides!
