Even when you are cooking for one, it's worth taking a few minutes to make a hot, protein-rich breakfast. By stretching an egg with a little tofu, you reduce the cholesterol and saturated fat. Try tucking it into a whole-wheat pita pocket for a simple and satisfying breakfast sandwich-and a healthful alternative to fast-food fare.

I used firm tofu and marinated it with soy sauce/cider vinegar and breakfast sausage spices overnight. Very flavorful and the texture was just like meat. Used in breakfast sandwiches with t of polaner jelly, and 1 T of low fat mozzarella cheese per sandwich.
