Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 3 min
• Cook Time: 10 min
• Total Time: 15 min
• Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 firm tofu
• 1-2 tbsp turmeric
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1-2 tsp parsley
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Egg from Plants (previously Just Egg) (optional)
• 2 tsp salt (to taste)
• 1 tsp ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

• Heat up a large skillet on medium heat, then add a tbsp of olive oil.
• Add the firm tofu block to the pan (unpressed), and mash it with a potato masher until it becomes more crumbly and looks similar to scrambled egg texture.

• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Add turmeric and stir thoroughly. Adjust the amount based off how dark yellow you’d like your eggs. This is mainly for coloring!
• Add the garlic powder and onion powder.
• For a bit more realism and a bit more creaminess, add 1/3 to 1/2 a mini carton’s worth of “Egg from Plants” in the gaps on the pan where no tofu egg is.

• Stir, and continue stirring occasionally until fully cooked through.
• Add parsley and stir.

Tips

• This vegan egg pairs really well with my vegan breakfast tacos for dinner recipe!
