This savory vegan breakfast is packed with flavor and loaded with juicy tomatoes and hearty mushrooms. It's so delicious and satisfying, you may want to eat it for lunch or dinner too... I often do! The light and buttery texture of the tofu mimics that of scrambled eggs and it's the spices and nutritional yeast that give it depth of flavor and color. You can add any vegetables of your choice and pair it with some toast, fruit, or breakfast potatoes.

1 block firm tofu - drained
8 oz mushrooms - sliced

Note: You can use any combination of vegetables and even vegan sausages or bacon in this dish. Get creative and bump up those nutrients by adding greens like kale and spinach.
*If you don't have Black Salt, you can sub for regular salt. It just has that "sulphur" egg taste.
You can buy nutritional yeast in bulk at the co-op, but it's also sold at most grocery stores too.
Do o have to go to the coop to buy the nutritional yeast?
