Servings:

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
1 teaspoon oil or butter
Crumble the tofu into the pan.
½ block firm or extra-firm tofu, crumbled
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the tofu.
½ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Stir and cook for 3–5 minutes, adding as much of the milk as desired for a softer texture.
2 tablespoons milk
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

For the best scramble, use firm or extra-firm tofu. Soft tofu won't give you that "scrambled egg" texture.
If you really want to mimic an egg-like flavor, try using black salt (Kala Namak).
Adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can even add a pinch of ground mustard for a bit of tang, or paprika for extra warmth.
Toss in some sauteed veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
Serve topped with avocado wedges, sliced cherry tomatoes, or crusty bread for a hearty breakfast.
