I’ve done Basic Tofu Scramble and I’ve even done a “Cheesy” Black Bean Tofu Scramble but I was craving something truly decadent, a soft-cooked tofu scramble with a “cheese” sauce that would be best eaten with a spoon! Little did I realize just how easy it would be to create such a thing. Truly, this whole recipe comes together in 20 minutes and with just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The final product is rich and creamy, so comforting, and of course insanely “cheesy.” Whether you enjoy it by the spoonful or spoon it on some toast, it’s sure to please especially in these colder months!

Vegan 'Cheesy' Tofu Scramble
Ingredients
- 2 packages of firm tofu, drained and pressed to remove excess liquid
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth + 1/3 cup to be added at the end
- 1 generous tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 bag vegan “cheddar cheese” shreds, I prefer Violife’s for this particular recipe
Directions
- If you haven’t done so already, drain and press the tofu to remove excess liquid. For this, you can use a tofu press or sandwich the tofu in between kitchen towels/paper towels and press/squeeze. In a skillet over high heat, crumble in the tofu. Add in the 2 1/2 cups of vegetable broth, as well as the Nutritional Yeast, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and turmeric. Stir to combine then boil for 10 minutes stirring occasionally to ensure nothing is sticking to the pan/browning.
- After 10 minutes, turn the heat down to low and add in the 1/3 cup vegetable broth and the entire bag of “cheddar cheese” shreds. Stir to combine the continue stirring until all of the “cheese” is fully melted down creating a sauce with the vegetable broth. Once the sauce has formed, remove from heat and enjoy! Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days.
