Ingredients:

• 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 3 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped onions, tomatoes, spinach, or any vegetables of your choice
• Olive oil or butter for cooking

Preparation Steps:

1. Prep the Tofu: Begin by draining the tofu. Press it to remove excess water—this helps in achieving a better texture when cooked. Cut the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces or crumble it with your hands for a more rustic texture.

2. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the three eggs and whisk them together until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, you can mix in some chopped herbs like chives or parsley.

3. Cook the Vegetables (Optional): If you’re adding vegetables, sauté them first in a bit of olive oil or butter until they are just tender. This step adds layers of flavor and makes the dish more colorful and nutritious.

4. Combine Tofu and Eggs: In the same pan, add the tofu pieces to the sautéed vegetables (if using) and pour the whisked eggs over the tofu. Let the eggs and tofu cook over medium heat, gently stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and the mixture resembles a traditional scrambled egg in texture.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tofu scramble hot. It can be enjoyed on its own, or you can serve it alongside toast, over rice, or wrapped in a tortilla for a delicious breakfast burrito alternative.
