Mmmmm breakfast! Who doesn’t love breakfast? I don’t know about you but I wake up so hungry every single morning and I always eat within 30 minutes of waking. If I don’t, I am not the most pleasant person to be around, just ask my family. 🙂

Today, I decided to make a tempeh egg white scramble since I had half of a tempeh cake left over from last week. I then decided to use whatever veggies I had in the refrigerator so always feel free to add or omit veggies to your liking.

What you’ll need for your tempeh egg white scramble is the following:

1/2 tempeh cake and cheese grater
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 cup of egg white
1 large handful of spinach
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon tyme or you can use cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne for some heat or even red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

So I started by heating 1/8 cup of low sodium vegetable broth in a skillet on medium high heat.

It’s also a good idea to spray a non stick cooking spray in the pan before you pour in the veggie broth. With your cheese grater, grate the tempeh until it looks like ground meat…

Add your tempeh to the hot skillet. Add the spices, and mix the ingredients together. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the onion and spinach to the skillet and mix into the tempeh mixture. Allow the spinach to wilt and onion to soften about another 2-3 minutes

Once the spinach has wilted, add the egg white and continue mixing as the egg should begin to cook almost immediately.

At this time I added my salt and pepper and continued to scramble. Once the egg is completely cooked, your scramble is done.

I added about a tablespoon of fat free cheddar cheese to my portion and Coach K added salsa on top of his. Whatever your taste is, add it to this quick and easy recipe to make it your own.

Tempeh is a great vegetarian or vegan way to get protein, iron and calcium. I love it because it’s less processed than tofu and offers a nutty flavor. Tempeh is simply fermented soybeans formed into a cake patty. Check out my other tempeh recipes like my Blackened Tempeh Recipe or my quick lunch Mexican Mash Up recipe that can be whipped up in a hurry.
