Toflette, my vegan tofu omelette

I have always loved omelettes! Scrambled eggs with add-ons like cheese or bacon or onion were my favourite kind of breakfast when I was a child and growing. Later I upgraded them by adding different kinds of veggies and herbs. Now that the times have changed and that I have made this +10 year journey into learning about food and nutrition, my omelette has changed too. It is now a toflette šŸ™‚ And it is objectively as delicious as the egg version if not even more because of this important psychological “reward” notion of eating healthy.

I do understand that many people have quite a negative perception of tofu as a boring and bland ingredient. However, it is precisely because of its “neutral” taste as well as its high nutritional value that tofu is so versatile and very much appreciated, especially in Asia. I am sure you will start appreciating it too if you would only give my toflette a try šŸ˜‰

And of course, do experiment with other veggies than kale and tell me how it went!

Serves: 2. Total time: 25 minutes (preparation 15 min, cooking 10 min).

INGREDIENTS (organic and in order of use)

1-2 tbsp of Olive Oil
1 small Red or Yellow Onion

1 level tsp of Turmeric
2 tbsp of Nutritional Yeast
1-2 pinches of fine Unrefined Sea Salt
1/2 tsp of dried Thyme
2-3 tbsp of Plant Milk
