Made this as a stovetop tofu scramble instead, no crust or oven, and it was DELICIOUS! Perfect spices and just added some broccoli for a little more veggies. Thank you!

This was one of our first recipes we tried as we transitioned to a plant based diet for health reasons. The texture, spice combination and ingredients gave it a really gourmet taste. Loved it is our second time testing it out. We used corn breadcrumbs which added a nice crunch. Thank you
This sounds amazing. Is there a substitute that would be good instead of mushrooms. Thanks.
Hi, an equal amount of your favorite vegetable such as bell peppers zucchini or asparagus would work instead. Sharon
