Today we are taking tofu scramble up a notch in flavour but down a notch in effort, with these Sheet Pan Open Face Tofu Breakfast Sandwiches! Tofu scramble is super tasty and high in protein, making it a great egg substitute for plant-based folk like us! As you may or may not know, Greg and I are super into fitness this year, and therefore keeping a close eye on our protein intake! Typically you need to up your protein when trying to build muscle, and as vegans who don’t eat meat, dairy, fish or eggs, we need to be extra diligent about getting enough!
Each one of these sandwiches has 14g of protein, which is amazing! They are the perfect savoury breakfast or post-workout meal. Greg devoured 3 of them immediately after taking the photos so I can assure you they are certified delicious!
When I said we are taking tofu scramble down a notch in effort I was not joking. There isn’t a single frying pan required for this scramble, its just all cooked on the sheet pan! Basically, this recipe is assembly only. No hands-on cook time at all! Which would also make this a perfect breakfast-for-dinner weeknight recipe. Look at us go!

Hi, do you know of any brands of tofu that make it very thick? All the ones I have tried make tofu that falls apart too easily when cutting it so it’s hard to make baked tofu or a dish like this.
Make sure you get firm or extra firm! Not silken. There is firm silken tofu but that’s not the same as firm regular tofu! Regular tofu has to be refrigerated whereas silken is shelf stable, so make sure you’re getting the right one 🙂
