Tofu Scramble Tater Tot Casserole is the ultimate vegan and gluten-free breakfast or brunch recipe. This loaded casserole will satisfy everybody in the family. Growing up, on Christmas morning, my family would always have "Aunt Michele's Casserole." I believe it came together with day-old bread, a ton of eggs, and loads of dairy!Since developing an egg allergy and lactose intolerance, I haven't been able to indulge in this family tradition for years. Until now! Here's my take on a vegan breakfast casserole, that's just as fun and tasty.

Easy Vegan Breakfast Casserole

This loaded breakfast casserole is sure to be a family favorite! It's dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, meatless, vegan, and vegetarian.Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast, Thanksgiving brunch, Christmas morning, and more! With layers of crunchy tater tots, seasoned scrambled tofu, and dairy-free cheese, it's wholesome, filling, and comforting.Here's what you'll need:
  • Extra firm tofu
  • Turmeric
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Plant-based shredded cheese
  • Frozen tater tots
  • Your choice of veggies
Cook tofu scramble with veggies of choice in a large skillet. Season with turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. The turmeric will turn the tofu a bright yellow color that resembles scrambled eggs! Meanwhile, bake tater tots in a casserole dish at 450F for 15 minutes. Remove tots from oven and lower temp to 350F. Transfer tofu scramble to casserole dish, covering tater tots. Top with dairy-free cheese. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes and enjoy! Serve with ketchup, salsa, or hot sauce. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for a few days!Want more dairy-free and egg-free breakfast recipes? Check these out next:
