Tofu Scramble with Brussels Sprouts

We love brunch! A filling meal served between dawn and lunchtime; sometimes paired with a Bloody Mary or mimosa… Who doesn’t love brunch? This Tofu Scramble with Brussels Sprouts recipe spawned from the question, “what vegetables do we have that we could toss in a tofu scramble?” Roasted Brussels sprouts of course!  The Brussels Sprouts were halved and seasoned with salt and pepper and dry roasted in a 400-degree oven a few days ago.  For this recipe, we chopped them up and added them to the scramble.
