Spinach, Mushroom & Leek Scrambled Tofu

Treat yourself to brunch this weekend with this tasty Spinach, Mushroom & Leek Scrambled Tofu!

Scrambled tofu is my favorite breakfast, and I often make it on the weekends. It’s so versatile that I rarely make the same thing twice. I tend to use whatever’s in the fridge and just throw it all together in the pan with the tofu, but spinach and mushroom is all-time favorite type of scramble. Together with roasted potatoes and toast, it makes the ultimate weekend brunch!
