Avo Toast with Tofu Scramble
Looking for a simple and special weekend breakfast idea, but something a little more exciting than avocado toast? Try our delicious plant-based take on scrambled eggs, using scrambled tofu!
We use a mix of both silken and firm tofu to nail that creamy eggy texture, all seasoned to perfection on top of a lovely toasted slice of bread. It’s a great healthy option too, with good fats from the avocado and a fantastic source of protein from the tofu...what’s not to love?
