"Cheezy" Scramble (or makes a Heavenly Hollandaise Sauce)

We talk about scrambles a lot. It is a great breakfast dish if you have a large group to feed! There are so many variations to this dish, try different ingredients and make it your own! Ours changes all the time depending on what we have in our Pink Vegan pantry or fridge! Extra firm tofu will give you the most "egg like" texture, just pat it dry with a paper towel and crumble. It will absorb all the wonderful spices and sauces you give it!

For the "cheezy" sauce (can be made into a Heavenly Hollandaise sauce, just add fresh squeezed lemon juice until you have the desired taste you are looking for):

1/2 c unbleached flour

1/2 c nutritional yeast

1 t garlic powder

2 c water

1 t yellow mustard

4 T "Earth Balance" buttery spread or sticks

1/2 - 1 fresh squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Mix the first three ingredients together in a sauce pan. Add water and mix thoroughly. On medium heat, stir until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and add mustard and margarine. Set aside.

Stir fry:

2 T canola oil, or any other med-high heat oil (1 T for sauteing vegetables and 1 T for scrambling the tofu)

1/2 onion, finely chopped

1/2 green or red bell pepper, chopped

1 pkg extra firm tofu, drained and crumbled

1 t turmeric, adds flavor and yellow color (optional)

Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

In a frying pan or wok:

Saute onion and bell pepper in 1 T canola oil. When the onion and bell peppers are soft, move them to the sides of the pan and scramble your tofu in the middle. Add 1 T canola oil to the center of the pan and add your drained and crumbled tofu. Saute until the tofu becomes golden, mix the onion and bell peppers back in and keep sauteing. Add turmeric for color (optional)and pepper to taste.

Add the "cheezy" sauce and mix in to coat, stir until golden. Depending on how saucey you want it, you might have extra. Save the extra "cheezy" sauce for nachos.

Serve with a side of fried potatoes, Vegan bacon or sausage, toast, biscuits or Vegan English muffins and you will have a feast!
