Ever since I shifted to Germany (which was a month ago), I’ve been eating a lot of open-faced toasts because the bread is just so amazing. While experimenting with different sorts of toast recipes, I thought of doing a series called #thatdelicioustoast on my Instagram. This delicious and nutrient-packed Tofu Scramble Toast is the first one in the series and deservingly so because this one sure does open the series with a bang.
Of course, the star ingredient of this dish is Tofu, which is such a boon for vegetarians and vegans because it’s not only an awesome source of protein but is rich in iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Also, adding some veggies gives it a crunch which I very much appreciate.
