This is a stand-alone recipe, that will make even your non-vegan eaters so very happy. The truth is you can swap out ingredients and replace them with seasonal or your favorite vegetables. The Tofu Egg Soufflé is beyond amazing. It just might be the best ever, it has structure, and it's light, creamy, and luxurious. I love that the tofu egg soufflé puffs up just like a traditional soufflé.

Instructions

How to make the Potato Hash Browns

Grate the Yukon potatoes using a box grater. Season the potatoes with kosher salt, and mix to combine the salt. The salt is going to help pull water from the potatoes. This will lead to a crispy well-seasoned potato hash brown.
Use your hands to squeeze the grated potatoes, removing excess water.
Heat a non-stick over medium heat, and add a generous lug of extra virgin olive oil.
Evenly spread the grated potatoes in the hot pan. I am using the potato hash browns as a crust to the breakfast casserole. Finish the potatoes with a dusting of chili powder and granulated garlic.
Cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes over medium heat, the potatoes should use be starting to turn brown.
Finish cooking the potatoes in a preheated oven set at 375 degrees. Cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven.

How to make Tofu Egg Base

If you are making a full batch of tofu egg base you will need to puree half of the recipe at a time. Also, make this while the potaotes are cooking.
Using a high-speed blender puree, soft silken tofu, nutritional yeast, garbanzo bean powder, potato starch, Kala namak, (black sea salt), cashews blanched and soaked, and plant milk. Puree until the tofu egg base is silky smooth. Pour the tofu egg base into a large bowl.
Add the diced red bell pepper and the thinly sliced scallion, and stir to combine. Adjust the salt levels, ensuring it is well seasoned.
Set aside

How to build a breakfast casserole

Spread the vegan ground beef evenly over the potato hash browns, next sprinkle the black bean and green chilies.
Pour the tofu egg base over the filling. Gently smooth the top of the tofu egg base. Place in the oven cooking for 35-40 minutes.
The edges should be firm and starting to turn a light brown. The center of the breakfast casserole should feel firm and set when gently pressing down on it.
Allow the breakfast casserole to rest for 10-12 minutes before cutting.
