Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu drained and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 small bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 slices of low-carb whole grain bread Omit if you don't have access to the low-carb bread, and simply serve the tofu over the mashed avocado
- Fresh herbs e.g., chives, parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the bell pepper is tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Stir well to mix the tofu with the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the turmeric, salt, and pepper over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tofu is heated through.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast and cook for another 1-2 minutes. The nutritional yeast will give the tofu a cheesy flavor and a more scrambled egg-like texture.
- While the tofu is cooking, toast the slices of low-carb bread.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it's smooth.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread slices.
- Once the tofu scramble is ready, divide it evenly among the 4 avocado toasts.
- Garnish each toast with fresh herbs of your choice. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb, vegan breakfast!
- This recipe is perfect for a quick weekday breakfast or a leisurely Sunday brunch. It's easy to make, delicious, and nutritious!
