Build Your Own Tofu Scramble

Build Your Own Tofu Scramble: what ingredients will you add to your protein-rich breakfast? The possibilities are endless!

Build Your Own Tofu Scramble

You’ve probably seen omelet bars at fancy brunches where you select your ingredients and the chef makes you a custom dish.

So I thought, why not do the same thing at home with a tofu scramble?

The base ingredients are the same, but you can choose your vegetables and toppings and make it your own!

Personally, my favorite scramble ingredients are mushrooms and spinach. But you may like tomatoes and olives. No problem! The method for making this breakfast is the same.

You can even add yours to a Tofu Scramble Casserole with Tater Tots! Or serve it with toast, fruit, or breakfast potatoes.

  • 1/2 onion chopped

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat. (Or use water or vegetable broth instead of oil.)
