Veggie-rific Scramble Bake

We've all been there. The moment you look into your fridge, seeing too many veggies and not enough pizza dough. What are you supposed to do with all that beautiful produce!! As vegans, it's our DUTY to not let any neglected veggies go to waste...after all, we're supposed to eat five fruits and vegetables a DAY! So what do we do? We get creative!We're calling this dish a "Scramble Bake" because it is like a tofu scramble and a casserole all rolled into one. The different textures really make this dish special -- the crunchy carrots, the chewy mushrooms, and the creamy tofu come together fantastically! And it has five...count them FIVE different vegetables.

This dish is extremely versatile! KT ate it accompanied with crispy flatbreads. Pam ate it on a bun, like an egg-salad sandwich. We also think it would be delectable stuffed in a pita. Or maybe wrapped in a tortilla like a breakfast burrito! Now isn't this a great way to get your daily intake?
Peace, Love, and Scrambies
