When you wake up in a holi-daze, still feeling groggy from too much nog, it’s tough to get motivated and cook a proper breakfast. Forget about making a huge production; the right recipe will wake up your taste buds even before your brain can engage. Keep the festivities rolling with big, hearty, and healthy breakfast pinwheels.
The Gift of Good Taste
Want to give your loved ones a gift they won’t find under the tree? There’s nothing better than waking up to the aroma of sautéed onions and garlic wafting from the kitchen, promising something rich and savory is on the way. Layering lightly spiced, herb-flecked vegan breakfast sausage, vibrant kale, and creamy tofu scramble in soft lavash flatbread is a foolproof formula for a happy holiday. It’s a symphony of textures and tastes, contrasting and harmonizing simultaneously, for a deeply satisfying morning meal.
How Do You Roll?
No gathering is complete without at least one picky eater on board, but this highly adaptable, entirely flexible blueprint can accommodate all requests. You can easily customize the filling based on what you have on hand or your guests’ preferences.
- Simplify by doubling up on just meatless sausage, or just tofu scramble.
- Swap the kale for spinach, or omit it entirely if the kids balk at anything green
- Lose the lavash and stuff everything into pita pockets, or better yet, have guests assemble their own.
There’s no shame in using shortcuts like prepared ready-to-eat sausage crumbles or prepared tofu scramble to take some pressure off in the pre-dawn rush, too.
Break The Fast, Not Your Spirit
Don’t let holiday fatigue get you down! Roll up your sleeves, and your lavash, and bring a little cheer back to the breakfast table.
Big Breakfast Pinwheels
Layering lightly spiced, herb-flecked vegan breakfast sausage, vibrant kale, and creamy tofu scramble in soft lavash flatbread is a foolproof formula for a happy holiday. It’s a symphony of textures and tastes, contrasting and harmonizing simultaneously, for a deeply satisfying morning meal.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 Medium Yellow Onion, Finely Diced
- 4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 8 Ounces Vegan Breakfast Sausage, Crumbled
- 2 - 3 Cups Kale, Roughly Chopped
- 3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 8 Ounces Tofu Scramble
- 2 Lavash Flatbreads
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Introduce the crumbled vegan breakfast sausage, allowing 4 - 5 minutes for it to brown slightly. Next, toss in the kale, stirring until it wilts, about 2 to 3 minutes, then mix in the tomato paste.
- Heat the tofu scramble separately, either in the microwave or a second skillet, until hot all the way through.
- Once your filling is ready, lay out the lavash flatbreads on a clean surface. Spoon the sausage mixture evenly across each flatbread, leaving a little space at the edges for easy rolling. Top with the tofu scramble. Finally, roll each lavash into a tight spiral.
- Use a sharp knife to slice each rolled flatbread into 10 bite-sized pieces, making 20 pinwheels in all. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Love the look of these! Born in the Baltics and to Scandinavian-type food breakfast ‘cereals’ and even ordinary eggs/bacon are somewhat of a bore to me and I just love what you have done above! OK – if I use sausage it is more likely to be a lean kangaroo and I’ll probably change the kale to spinach or bok/pak choi also! And use whatever flatbread is sitting in the fridge!! Luvverly, as we oft say here :) !
By all means, take the idea and run with it, make it your own! The best recipes should be accommodating (and inspiring in the first place) like that, so I feel like I’ve done my job here. :)
What a fun idea for a holiday brunch. I love the idea of adding a little tomato paste in the breakfast roll – adds a pop of flavor.
What a great idea for a festive, yet easy breakfast! These breakfast pinwheels sound like the perfect balance of convenience and comfort, especially when you’re dealing with holiday grogginess.
