Recipes of the day: Egg-free breakfast ideas

So to continue my new-found love affair with tofu here’s a some egg-free breakfast goodies for your New Year’s, courtesy of EggIndustry.com:

TOFU FRENCH TOAST

• 8 ounces silken tofu
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sweetener (molasses or maple syrup)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 banana
• 6 slices of bread
• fresh berries (optional)
• maple syrup

Mix all the ingredients except the bread — really? was that detail necessary? — in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, dip the bread, and cook on a non-stick pan, turning once when the edges begin to brown.

BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE

• 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped (optional)
• 1 green onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)

Using a fork or potato masher, crumble the tofu into small pieces and then sauté in oil in a frying pan. After a few minutes, add the remaining ingredients, turmeric through bell pepper, if used. Lightly toss in the pan until well-cooked. Serve warm.
