Black Friday Scramble Recipes

TOFU-POTATO SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Put the potato pieces in a large skillet and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer 3 minutes. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the water.
• Add the olive oil, scallions, garlic and chili powder to the skillet and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and peppers are tender, 5 to 7 more minutes. Add the tofu and 2 tablespoons water and cook until the tofu is heated through, about 3 more minutes. Season with salt.
• Warm the tortillas in a skillet or in the microwave. Divide among plates and top with the tofu scramble. Pile the cheese, cherry tomatoes and lettuce on top.

KENTUCKY FARMHOUSE SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and oil and swirl around the pan until melted. Add the country ham and saute until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low. Stir in roasted red peppers and beaten eggs. After the eggs begin to set, stir slowly from edge to edge with a heat-resistant rubber spatula until large curds form. This will take 5 minutes or so. When eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pan from the heat and serve with fried green tomatoes and buttermilk biscuits with sorghum butter.

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Gently wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels to blot out excess moisture. Place the tofu in a medium bowl. Add the black salt and turmeric and stir well with a fork, crumbling the tofu and fully combining the spices.
• Melt the vegan butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Add the tofu mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook undisturbed until the edges begin to turn yellow from the turmeric and some moisture is bubbling up, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
• Gently stir the scramble, folding the cooked side over and redistributing the tofu to allow it to cook in an even layer. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 minute 30 seconds, until most of the moisture is evaporated and the tofu is the consistency of custardy scrambled eggs, 7 to 9 minutes. As it simmers, more liquid will bubble up and then it will dry out and the scramble will turn a uniform pale yellow color.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread. Divide the scramble between the bread slices and top each with half the vegan cheese.

MEAN GREEN SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the hardy greens, scallions and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the greens have wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the half-and-half, pesto and eggs to a pitcher or bowl. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
• Add the egg mixture to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until creamy curds begin to form, about 2 minutes. Add the Monterey Jack and continue to cook, stirring, until the eggs are just cooked and the cheese has melted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the eggs on top of the tomato slices and garnished with the chives.

BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 the oil in a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until pepper starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add remaining oil. Stir kale, harissa, and garlic into the hot oil until well combined. Reduce heat to medium; splash in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if needed.
• Gradually stir eggs into the kale mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until nearly set, about 2 minutes. Mix in bacon, feta, and pepperoncini. Heat through. Transfer to a bowl or plate.
