Healthy tofu-stuffed eggs
I am on a (secret) mission to get as many people as I can to like tofu, because, honestly, it’s so good when well prepared! Why deprive yourself?
Here’s a cool recipe and three good reasons to convince you that you HAVE to prepare it for your holiday table.
1. This recipe is the perfect way to work tofu into your menu, and hopefully convert the skeptics of this world at the same time.
2. It’s even tastier than traditional stuffed egg recipes, and healthier, to boot.
3. It only takes a few minutes to make and involves minimal clean-up.
Ready, set, eggs! (Alex totally disapproves of this pun and wants to go on record as having had nothing to do with it…)
