This turned out very well. I must admit that I'm one of those that uses a recipe as a general guideline so I didn't use the onion/garlic powder. Instead, I sautéed some chopped onion and minced garlic along with some other veggies I had on hand and diced (zucchini, broccoli, carrots). It came out wonderfully and I'm sure it would be wonderful as written as well. Texture was great and the flavors blended evenly throughout. This recipe is very easy to make. I served this along with several other brunch type items in a brunch themed dinner I made for several friends tonight. It was a hit. A versatile recipe that I recommend highly! -
We tried this ages ago without the nutritional yeast, and I hated it. We tried this again today, with the yeast, making 3 batches, decreasing the amount of the yeast each time. It seems to us that 1 tsp. with 4 oz. of tofu works best. Also, we left out the water; silken is moist enough. Next time, we'll do this with the veggies. -
I didn't have silken tofu, so I used extra firm and drained it for about 30 minutes. I doubled the amount of onion and garlic powder and added some spike seasoning. I sauteed red and green bells, mushrooms along with green onions before adding the tofu to the skillet. I thought it was very good. A very nice substitute for eggs, for the vegans in the house. Oh ya, I added a dash of frank's hot sauce, which is good on so many things. -
I'm sorry, but this just wasn't good. I knew it wouldn't taste like eggs, thoes who said it does havn't eaten eggs in a long time, but I did expect alot more based on the reviews. This ended up in the trash as I couldn't get anyone to eat it. :-( -
really tasty. i didn't follow exact amounts. also i used water packed tofu and just squeezed it out as i crumbled.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me.
If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
