  • 1 cup Baby Spinach or Kale (chopped)

  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast for a cheesy taste

Instructions
 

  • Note: All spices can be adjusted to your liking. Highly recommend not omitting the Kala Namak Black Salt if an "eggy" taste is desired.
  • If using veggies (onions, peppers, or mushrooms) in your scramble, sautee them in a non-stick pan for about 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat. Add a splash of water to keep the veggies from sticking. Add spinach or kale to the pan and cook for an additional minute or so until the greens wilt.

  • Taste the scramble. Adjust the spices to your liking. Serve hot! Enjoy!

Instructions
 

  • Fill a small pot halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil. Turn the stovetop off. Add the raw pumpkin seeds to the boiling water. Cover and allow the seeds to soak for 1 hour.

The longer you cook the firmer the scramble. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

  • Optional Veggie Add-Ins: Veggies can be added to this scramble. Recommend sauteeing your desired veggies prior to adding the pumpkin seed batter to the pan.

    Thank you very much for the video .
    This is a little different then the tofu scramble that I make, and I am going to try it. I just ordered the kala namak. I have been wanting to try it and now I will with your tofu scramble recipe.
    Would you be able to use the pumpkin seed mixture for dipping bread in it for french toast?

    1. Faith Scott says:

      Hey Cathy! The Kala Namak is definitely a game-changer in this recipe. I have never used Pumpkin Seeds to make French Toast. I wouldn’t be able to say for sure if it will work or not. I have used Hemp Seeds to make French Toast. Feel free to check out our French Toast blog post: https://bit.ly/3BLj6jS
