2 servings Nutritional yeast and the optional black salt give tofu the savory, sulfur-scented note of scrambled eggs. Consider this a basic blueprint from which you can build a wide variety of breakfast scrambles. Use any vegetable that you like and stir in Pesto, or start with chopped poblano peppers and onions, stir in chili powder, and top with avocado and salsa.
