Steps

  1. Prep first: pat the tofu dry and crumble it into bite-size pieces, shred the cheddar, slice the green onion tops, and thaw the edamame.
  2. Make the edamame smash: in a bowl, mash the edamame with a fork with the lemon juice, half of the olive oil and a quarter of the salt until chunky; set aside.
  3. Heat the remaining half of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes until lightly golden and most moisture has cooked off.
  4. Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and the remaining three-quarters of the salt over the tofu and stir for 1 minute.
  5. Meanwhile, toast the bread until crisp.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low, scatter the cheddar over the tofu, and fold gently for about 1 minute until the cheese melts. Stir in most of the green onion.
  7. Spread the edamame smash on the toast, spoon the scramble alongside or on top, and garnish with the last of the green onion.
