Notes

I typically use Cannellini beans or Great Northern Beans for this recipe because I love that they're mild in flavor and super creamy. I sometimes substitute chickpeas instead, which is ideal if you're looking for a little more texture, but if you want a more traditional scramble texture, sub half of the beans for crumbled firm tofu instead. I do all of the above from time to time, and it's all delicious. So get creative and make this the way you like it!
