Method
 

Cowboy Scramble
  1. Chop potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. Chop carrots, onion and garlic.
  2. Heat oil in large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onions and cook until potatoes soften. If the potatoes begin to stick to the skillet, add a splash or two of water. Add the carrots and garlic and cook until tender.
  3. Crumble the tofu into the skillet with your hands and sauté for a few minutes. Add soy sauce and spices (coriander, basil, cumin, chilli powder, paprika). Let it cook for a few minutes, then add the lemon juice and nooch (nutritional yeast). Let cook for a few more minutes to allow the flavours to combine.
Cashew Cheese
  1. Place the cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, vinegar garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a high powered blender. Pulse repeatedly to break the cashews down, until they form a coarse, wet meal. Scrape the sides with a spatula as needed. Add in the water, a little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. Taste adjust seasonings as needed.
Spicy Mayo
  1. Combine mayonnaise and hot sauce is a small side dish.
Assemble
  1. Toast bagel (if using) and spread spicy mayo on both halves. Add a generous amount of cashew cheese. Add scramble and top with sliced avocado.
    Bon appétit!
