breakfast bake

For a beautiful and hearty brunch meal, this Breakfast Bake was wonderful. In fact, it was so good, I made a double batch and one is in the freezer for another day.

This contains tofu, sausage from the Field Roast Grain Meat Co., carrots, peppers, Daiya vegan cheese and hashbrowns.

I browned the hashbrowns and set them aside in a bowl. Then I sauteed the sausage, carrots, peppers and onions and put those in the bowl with the hashbrowns. Lastly, I sauteed the tofu, seasoned it with nutritional yeast, black salt and turmeric. I steamed the tofu for 10 minutes until there was no more liquid in the pan and then added that to the bowl as well. I mixed it all up, with a cup of Daiya, and popped it into a pie pan. I baked it for 20 minutes and served it with toast.

The most tedious part is getting the hashbrowns to brown in a small saute pan.
Use a big one.

sausage: $2
tofu: $2
onion, carrot, pepper, green onion: $2
Daiya: $1.50

  5. Thanks, Guys!

    Just make sure to cook the tofu until it is dry of the liquid - it makes it have the best texture.

  6. I agree with everyone about the color -- my breakfast casseroles all seem to be one color, golden brown. Specks of color are great!
