If you follow my Instagram Stories, you know my son loves breakfast foods!

He eats a big breakfast every morning, whether he’s going to school or home on the weekend.  He loves pancakes and french toast but he will always choose a big savory spread if given the choice.

Crazily enough, he is the only one in the family who truly loves breakfast food.   I, however, do love a big savory brunch spread every so often.  So since it was just my son and myself for dinner, we decided to switch it up and have breakfast for dinner!

A big (but crazy easy!) spread of tofu scramble for me, scrambled eggs and bacon for my son, plus roasted potatoes, roasted tomatoes, sauteed spinach and sauteed mushrooms.

Have you tried tofu scramble before? It is super easy to make and I happen to love it!

For the basics, all you need is Extra Firm Tofu, onions, green onions (or scallions), salt, pepper and turmeric for that fabulous yellow color!

All you do is heat oil in a saucepan, saute the onions, then with your hands or a fork crumble the tofu into bite size pieces directly into the pan with the onions. This shows how the tofu crumbles into pieces.

Add the turmeric, salt and pepper– everything will turn yellow and be well seasoned– and let is heat up. It comes together super quickly!

You can also add any other vegetables you like.  I sometimes add carrots, peppers and even nutritional yeast to vary the flavor.

Serve it with some roasted potatoes, roasted tomatoes, sauteed spinach and mushrooms and you have a feast!

Any one else love breakfast for dinner?

Instructions

Tofu Scramble

  • Pat dry tofu and cover in an absorbent towel or many paper towels then cover with a heavy pan and let sit for approx 15 minutes to release water. NOTE: I don't always cover with the pan but I will wrap the tofu block in paper towels to absorb the water.
  • In a large saucepan, heat oil until shimmering, then add onions and white parts green onion. Saute until translucent and tender, approx 10 minutes. (NOTE: if adding any additional veggies, add them after sauteing the onions for about 5 minutes, then cook all the vegetables an additional 7-10 minutes or until tender)
  • Unwrap tofu, and with a fork or your hands crumble tofu into bite size pieces and add tofu directly to the pan with the onions. Stir to combine.
