Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat (I prefer a cast iron pan, or non-stick). Mash the block of tofu right in the pan, with a potato masher or a fork. You can also crumble it into the pan with your hands. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until the water from the tofu is mostly gone.
Now add the nutritional yeast, salt, turmeric and garlic powder. Cook and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. Continue to cook for longer, not stirring for a few minutes at a time, until golden spots form on some of the tofu. This is a personal preference but I prefer some golden spots and a longer cook time.
Pour the non-dairy milk into the pan, and stir to mix. Serve immediately with sliced avocado, hot sauce, parsley, steamed kale, toast or any other breakfast item.

I love this recipe. Today I added potates, red pepper and onions. It was still fabulous.

A couple reasons I love this recipe: it's not fussy, it's easy to make and it's delicious! Other recipes seems unnecessarily complicated. Thanks Nora!

Just made for our vegan niece and anyone else at our bagel breakfast to try! Looks, smells and tastes delicious! Thank you, Norah.

I wish I could add a picture. Either I'm really hungry or this taste like a breakfast scramble. It has yellow onion, orange pepper, mushrooms, mushroom powder and cut up tater tots in it along with tofu and everything in the recipe above. I even made oat milk as the soy milk had sugar in it. It was delicious. Thank you Nora.

This is a very good replacement for real eggs - and their cholesterol. :)

Very quick and easy and yum. I added shallots and fresh garlic. Also vegan cheese shreds and feta. I still used the milk too, and it came out perfect! Thank you, Nora!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I did change it a little by frying some mushrooms in the pan first before adding the tofu. I topped it with Truffle salt. I will definitely make this again. Thank you Nora for sharing your recipe
