This tofu scramble is a family favorite recipe in our home. Try this recipe for an easy way to have a “traditional egg” breakfast sans the animal products. I’d say that is a win for everyone involved. Plus, a serving of tofu scramble has twice as many grams of protein than the animal-based product and has NO cholesterol and is super low in carbohydrates too! You can modify the tofu scramble and add anything to it in order to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.
Ingredients
Some of my favorite additions that will satisfy the hungriest in your crowd:
- Vegan meat crumbles for a sausage flare
- Diced red or sweet potatoes tossed in seasoning salt for a non-processed version
- Any and all of your favorite veggies
- Salsa, sliced avocado, and freshly diced tomatoes for a Mexican version

Tofu Tips:
- Buy Non-GMO (good news is that it is almost impossible to find GMO tofu these days)
- Extra-firm tofu is most similar to the texture of an “egg” scramble
- The key to browning tofu; you MUST squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- I use a tofu press.ย If you don’t have a press; grab a heavy pan and place it on top of the tofu to release the liquid. Now it’s ready to fry up!
If spinach isn’t your thing, try zucchini, kale, or swiss chard. Tomatoes are a delicious fresh option, just add them at the end. Pair the scramble with tempeh bacon, fruit, potatoes, and man you’ve got a meal they’ll be asking for every week. And no one will be missing the old traditional scrambled “egg” of the past.
