Creamed tofu over toast, is a delicious breakfast entree which pares nicely with fresh fruit or vegetables. The idea for this dish was inspired by creamed eggs and biscuits. You will find a whole-grain biscuit recipe in the Breads section; however, I think it is even more flavorful with whole-wheat toast (GF toast for Gluten-free or eat over rice).
Don’t stop at breakfast as it also makes an easy light lunch or supper with added vegetables and a salad on the side. See the Note at the bottom of the page.
