Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Bread and Optional Ingredients

  • 4 whole grain English muffins or bread slices, toasted
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the extra-firm tofu for 15-30 minutes to remove excess water, then crumble it into bite-sized, uneven pieces to mimic scrambled eggs.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add diced bell peppers and chopped spinach or kale. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables soften but still retain some crunch.
  3. Cook the Tofu Scramble: Add the crumbled tofu to the pan. Sprinkle turmeric powder over the tofu and stir well to coat evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Continue stirring and cooking for 7-10 minutes until the tofu scramble is heated through and lightly browned.
  4. Toast the Bread: While the tofu scramble is cooking, toast the English muffins or bread slices until golden and crispy.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a generous layer of the tofu scramble onto the bottom half of each toasted bread. Add optional avocado slices for creaminess, then top with the other half of the muffin or bread. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Press tofu thoroughly to avoid sogginess in the scramble.
  • Cook over medium-high heat for slightly crisp tofu texture.
  • Use fresh turmeric powder and nutritional yeast for optimal flavor.
  • Do not overcook vegetables to maintain their vibrant color and crunch.
  • Toast bread well to add texture contrast and prevent sogginess.
