Denne Tofu Scramble recipe is an egg-free scramble made out of tofu with such a deliciously cheesy, eggy flavor that nobody will guess it’s eggless. These eggless scrambled eggs are high-protein just like real eggs, so they are a great daily vegan breakfast.
If you were a big fan of eggs in your pre-vegan days or an egg-loving ovo-vegetarian looking for a more conscious alternative, this recipe is for you! Like my chickpea omelette, this tofu scramble recipe gives you the taste of eggs without using any. This recipe is higher in protein, flavors, and texture, so it’s hard not to love this dish.
Tofu scramble is an eggless vegan dish made from firm tofu that mimics scrambled eggs’ taste and texture. Like scrambled eggs, it’s high in protein but low in saturated fat and, therefore, better for you.

- Stir to combine and evenly cover the pieces of tofu with the mixture.
- Over medium heat, warm oil in a large non-stick pan, add the tofu scramble mixture, and cook it while stirring once in a while until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the tofu scramble is warm. It takes 5-15 minutes, depending on how wet the tofu block was.

Ernæring
Ingredienser og erstatninger
All you need to make scrambled tofu are:
- Extra-Firm Tofu – Don’t use silken tofu, or the scramble won’t hold its shape. Also, you don’t need to press the tofu for this recipe. Remove the block from the packaging, discard the liquid, but keep the block unpressed.
- Ernæringsgær – This adds a cheesy flavor and lovely yellow color to the dish.
- Sort Salt – It’s the secret ingredient that adds an eggy flavor to recipes. It has a strong sulfur flavor that mimics an egg taste in this recipe.
- Pepper – for smagens skyld.
- Plantebaseret yoghurt or plant-based milk.
- Avocado Oil – or any other high smoke point vegetable oil.
- Gurkemeje – For col – or only, skip if you don’t like its bitter flavor.
- Hvidløgs pulver – This is optional. Add if you love a garlic flavor to your plate.
How To Make Tofu Scramble
It’s super quick and easy to make egg tofu scramble, and your kids can help you make this simple high-protein breakfast.
- First, use your fingertips to rub and scramble the block of unpressed firm tofu into small pieces. Place the pieces into a shallow bowl. You can break the block into any piece size. The trick to mimic scramble eggs is to break irregular pieces that are not too big.
- Sprinkle some nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt, pepper, and plant-based milk. Stir to combine and coat the tofu scramble evenly with the mixture.
- In a large non-stick saucepan over medium, heat warm avocado oil, then add the tofu scramble.
- Stir occasionally and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the tofu pieces are warm. It takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how wet your tofu block is.
- The best part in classic scrambled eggs, is the soft, creamy, and custardy texture the eggs form around the pieces of cooked eggs. To mimic this in a vegan scramble egg recipe, reduce to low heat and stir in plant-based yogurt or plant-based sour cream.
- Cook and stir for an extra minute until warm and creamy. Serve immediately.

Black salt, also known as kala namak or Himalayan black salt, is a volcanic rock salt coming from the Himalayan regions of India and Pakistan. It’s natural and has a strong Sulphur smell and taste that mimic eggs in eggless recipes.
No, you must use firm to extra-firm tofu for best results. For example, silken tofu won’t work. It’s ultra-soft and custardy. It’s great to make a tofu mousse or creamy sauce, but it won’t hold its shape to make egg-like dishes.
