Tips and Tricks
Here are a few more helpful hints that will come in handy when making your vegan scramble:
- Some veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, and spinach release water while cooking, make sure to sauté them until the moisture evaporates.
- Depending on which eggs and mix ins you use, you may or may not need the salt and pepper.
- Dairy free cheese tends to take longer to melt so if you sprinkle it over the cooked veggies it will melt better.
- Prep ahead of time by chopping up the veggies and storing them in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to cook. You can even pre-cook the veggies and simply add them to the eggs.

Vegan Egg Scramble Recipe (With Tofu and Without)
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegan egg , either tofu or chickpea flour recipe or store bought vegan egg
- 2 cups veggies of choice , I used mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, and spinach.
- 1 cup dairy free cheese of choice , optional
- 1 cup protein of choice , I used my vegan bacon (optional)
- ½ - 1 teaspoon sea salt , may not need if egg, cheese and protein choice has plenty
- ½ teaspoon pepper , may not need if egg choice has plenty of flavor
- Sliced green onions , optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, saute veggies with drizzle of oil, or broth, and salt and pepper if using. I add the greens last. Add the protein here if it needs to be cooked. Set aside. A trick I use is to add the cheese here. Dairy free cheese tends to take longer to melt so if you warm it with the cooked veggies it will melt better.
- Using the same pan, cook the vegan egg and follow the recipe for the egg variety you use, scrambling the egg as stated.
- Once you see it firm up a bit, add the cooked veggies, cheese and protein to the pan.
- Mix a few more minutes until you see the cheese melting.
- Serve!
Notes
- Use any veggies you love, just be mindful of the ones that will give a watery result, and saute those well.
- Nutrition facts are for the eggs, veggies and my portobello bacon recipe. Cheese not counted as it varies so much.
