Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 pieces plant-based sausage patties
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons green onions

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean towel or paper towels to press out excess liquid for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is being pressed, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the plant-based sausage patties and cook according to package instructions until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Once the tofu is pressed, crumble it into a bowl using your hands to achieve a scrambled egg-like texture.

Step 4

Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.

Step 6

Add unsweetened almond milk to the tofu scramble to make it creamy, stirring well to incorporate.

Step 7

Chop the cooked sausage patties into bite-sized pieces and add them to the scramble, along with the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and chopped green onions.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are softened.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm with your favorite toast or avocado slices.
