Breakfast Scramble

[fakeveganannette]

The crowd I made this for really enjoyed this scramble, although the weaker among them found it a little too spicy.  I just ran out of nutritional yeast yesterday so I couldn't add any, which would have rounded out the flavor a little more and would have taken it from very good to amazing.

YUM> I just made this without potatoes, and made a cheese sauce with the nutritional yeast instead of just using flakes. It was awesome! Even my son who says he hates tofu ate it and loved it! It almost seemed like the old days eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel, sans the bacon fat and cholesterol!  Paired with a Matthews Whole Wheat English Muffin, it was delish!

This is what I did

I fry the diced potato (1 potato) in the oil then after 5-10 min, add the garlic (3 cloves minced) and onion (half). After 2-5 minutes add the tofu scramble (cramble the fofu, add liquid aminos to taste,i used Braggs, then add also celery salt,just be careful that it won't get salty,add basil,add turmeric for color)stir it all in the pan then add nutritional yeast flake,depends on how much you want.
It's soo yummy!

Great substitute for eggs in the morning! I used a tiny bit of Dijon at the end because I felt like it needed a little something extra. the flavor is fabulous. This will be my new breakfast staple! Have it with coffee and some English muffins and jam..mmmm...Love it, thanks!

This stuff is addictive!!!!! Recipes like this one make it easier to stay veg, so much better than egg-based, and you can have it leftover, unlike it's egg counterpart. I added LOTS of nutritional yeast, like about 1/4 cup or so, and stuffed some tortillas with it...........heavenly!!!!

Yum!  I made this earlier this week using a large russet potato with the skin on.  I skipped the bell pepper because I didn't want overcooked veggies when I reheated it for breakfast.  I used the onion, but made it easy on myself by just using garlic powder, Italian seasoning, chili powder, plenty of the nutritional yeast (probably 1/4 cup), in addition to the salt and plenty of pepper.  It's very crumbly but very yummy and reheats well.  I reheated it every morning before work for the next 3 days after I made it for a very quick and hearty breakfast each day with a slice of whole wheat toast, and it was just as good as the first day.  Thanks!

This is the best scramble I have ever had!  My non-vegan hubby begs me to make this!  I add Gimme Lean Sausage to it and omit the chipotle powder.  Sooooo good!

I used 1 russet potato cause that's all I had on hand.  When the potato was nearly done I added the bell pepper, onion, mushrooms (suggested in another review) and garlic to the wok.  When the veggies were done to my liking I added the crumbled tofu, dried basil, turmeric ( for color), cayenne pepper, and added some soy sauce.  At the end I sprinkled on the nutritional yeast  stirred and served.  It was so delcious.  I'm having the leftovers tomorrow morning in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito.  YUM!

The two things that make this recipe work are fresh basil and nutritional yeast.  I happened to have fresh basil hand and it really made the recipe pop.  I didn't have chipotle powder and cayenne is a bit strong for me, so I instead used a Cajun creole seasoning blend that had paprika in it.  I added the seasoning with some salt and pepper to taste and there was something missing until I added the nutritional yeast.  That brought it all together.  It is a very tasty recipe.  I'll likely add halved grape tomatoes the next time I make it.

WOW! this was great!   I didnt use potatoes, but lots of mushrooms and celery.  I also used about 1/8 C. Nutritional yeast, splash of soymilk and some earthbalance butter to make a kinda sauce, then added it at the end.  We ate it on toast, and it was a great sunday breakfast.  Thanks for posting your recipe

Yum!  I'm rather new to the veggie thing and this was a great introduction to nutritional yeast...it's just the flavor/texture that I was after!  How good does it feel to eat something that's so delicious AND so healthy??

Good for any meal of the day? How about EVERY meal. This is so delicious. I don't care what the nutrition label says about a block of tofu having 5 servings, when my boyfriend and I make it its TWO (okay, maybe were huge pigs but whatever). We add an entire bunch of scallions too right at the beginning that mellow with the heat. We actually do all the veggies first until they brown a little, then add some broth (or wine, which I do even at breakfast). Cook until the veggies are nice and soft and all the liquid cooks out (important otherwise the tofu gets soggy), and then add the tofu. Then all your delicious spices and nutritional yeast. I have even added dulse flakes, but make sure to give it a little liquid or else that seaweed sticks to the roof of your mouth. My boyfriend and I have been known to omit potatoes and serve alongside patatas bravas (spicy Spanish potatoes) and wilted spinach/kale for dinner. We have also been known to make this three times in three days-- I'm not kidding. Its addictive.

Thank goodness you made this comment, Sharway, because it's the only way I'm ever able to find this scramble recipe among the dozens of "scrambles" on this site.  I always print it out and it always disappaers.  However, I am able to remember the comment about you eating it for EVERY meal.
