HOW TO MAKE A VEGAN PESTO SCRAMBLE {DR. SEUSS INSPIRED GREEN EGGS}

This vegan pesto scramble recipe is vegan and gluten-free. This recipe is yummy, simple, quick to make.

TOOLS:

Measuring Cups (I prefer and use both stainless steel measuring cups and Pyrex measuring cups.)
Glass bowls or glass containers (I love and use these Pyrex storage containers because they’re glass and work great)
Large skillet pan (I use this range of pans.)
Potato masher (Optional. It’s what I like to use. This potato masher is the one I’m using in the photo below.)
Glass Blender, Vitamix, or other blender (I have and love this Vitamix.)

INGREDIENTS:

Organic Ingredients are preferable.

1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Pine Nuts
1/2 Cup Fresh Basil
1 Block of Extra-Firm Tofu
Small amount of oil for cooking the tofu. (I used coconut oil.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Measure and get together all the ingredients.
Heat small amount of oil in the pan. I used coconut oil for this part.
Scramble tofu in the pan either by breaking it up or using a potato masher. Cook on a medium heat, moving the tofu around and turning it over until all the tofu is warm and cooked. Approximately 5 minutes.
While the tofu is cooking, put the olive oil and pine nuts in a blender and blend on a medium speed. Add basil leaves and blend until it’s a smooth and creamy pesto.
Add the pesto to the cooked tofu and mix together.

Here are the healthy ingredients: organic olive oil, organic pine nuts, organic fresh basil, and organic extra-firm tofu. Measure and get all the ingredients together.

Heat some oil in a large pan. I used coconut oil, but you could use any oil you like. Scramble the tofu by either breaking it apart in the pan or using a potato masher like I did in this photo. The potato masher is really easy to use with the tofu, and it really makes the tofu like scrambled eggs.

Cook on a medium heat, moving the tofu around and turning it over until all the tofu is warm and cooked. Approximately 5 minutes.

While the tofu is cooking, put the olive oil and pine nuts in a blender and blend on a medium speed. Add basil leaves and blend until it’s a smooth and creamy pesto.

Add the pesto to the cooked tofu and mix together. Place basil leaves on top for the adult version. This is a super-healthy and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

For the kids’ version of green eggs inspired by Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham, leave off the basil leaves.

My 3-year-old niece, Zoey, had a lot of fun eating the green eggs I made for her! She was really excited and said, “yummy!” as soon as she ate her first bite. She even asked for seconds and is eating her second serving here. 🙂

Yum
