The other day, I wanted a really simple breakfast, so I crumbled up the tofu and added the general spices I would add to a scramble and served it in a sandwich with my spicy mustard dip.
Hubbs tried some and exclaimed.. ooh this is so much likeย scrambled eggs. I was like, why haven’t we done this before. Hubbs ate the whole bowl by himself and I had to make more..
This is a great base recipe, add crunchy veggies, cheese or other flavors to taste.
Now ย if only i could find a gluten-free vegan bread that looks that good.
