Vegan Tofu Shakshuka
This Vegan Tofu Shakshuka is a traditional North African & Middle Eastern breakfast that we're vegan-izing with tofu in place of eggs.

Notes
*Depending on how many people you're serving and how big your skillet is, you can use a whole block or 1/2 a block. Because I cut mine into cute little circles with a biscuit cutter (not necessary), I only used 1/2 a block and reserved the extra for another recipe. But feel free to just cut the entire thing into 8 squares and use it all.
