Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 4 slices whole grain bread or 2 English muffins, toasted
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños for spice
  • Vegan cheese shreds
  • Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or cilantro
  • Cooked mushrooms, tomatoes, or vegan sausage for add-ins

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain and press your firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces resembling scrambled eggs to achieve the classic scramble texture.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Veggies: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers. Sauté until softened and fragrant, building a flavorful foundation for your scramble.
  3. Cook the Tofu with Spices: Add the crumbled tofu to the pan along with turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently, allowing the spices to blend fully while the tofu warms through and lightly browns.
  4. Add Greens and Nutritional Yeast: Toss in fresh spinach or kale and cook until wilted slightly. Sprinkle nutritional yeast on top to add depth and a cheesy undertone to your scramble.
  5. Assemble Your Sandwich: Toast the bread or English muffin slices. Layer the tofu scramble generously onto each slice, add slices of avocado or your favorite toppings, then close the sandwich and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Press Tofu Well: Removing excess water prevents sogginess and improves texture.
  • Use Fresh Spices: Fresh turmeric and paprika deliver brighter, more vibrant flavors.
  • Toast Your Bread: Adds crunch and keeps the sandwich from becoming mushy.
  • Customize Heat Level: Add chili flakes or hot sauce carefully to balance the spice.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Gently cook tofu to avoid drying it out and to meld flavors better.
