Tofu salad panini
I was thinking, there would be no reason you couldn't take a medium firm tofu scramble and do the same thing - I'd probably add a little more capers (for the briney taste), and a little more roasted red peppers (in oil) - and have a darn nice sandwich.

Egg salad panini
I ordered the egg salad panini sandwich at Kokopelli Bistro today - and it was great. Think diced up hard cooked egg (didn't seem to be anything mixed with it), capers, and ribbons of roasted red peppers in oil. This delightful mixture was scooped into a wedge of crusty italian bread (the top was all crusty, no white) and warmed in a panini press.
The bistro is part of the Kokopelli winery operation in Chandler, AZ. It used to be their bottling plant, but I'm not sure if it still is or not. With lunch my friend and I also had their 'wine sampler' - 6 very generous 1 ounce pours of our choice of wines.
In case you're interested, and in the Sonora desert area, look for Kokopelli wines http://kokopelliwinery.com/

Not only are these nationally award winning wines exceptional in taste (and their bottles are really neat!), but they're organic. The winery is in Bonita Valley (southern AZ). The velvety texture of your first sip will have you hooked!
I've also heard there's another Kokopelli Bistro in Surprise, AZ for those West-Siders.
Enjoy!

Great Lower Calorie Breakfast Shake
I have one of these almost every morning - I put it into an insulated mug (no lid), and take it to work.
1/2 frozen banana (good use for those very ripe bananas)
6-8 ounces of light soy milk (vegetarians, use fat free milk for low cal)
1/3 cup crushed ice (approximate)
A few dashes of cinnamon to taste
A capful of vanilla extract (don't use the cheap stuff - ever! Get the real thing).
I use my immersion blender, but you could use any blender to blend this all up - till ice and banana is all blended in.
If you're looking to gain weight, use regular soy or cow's milk, (and throw in some protein powder).
