Breaded tofu a la parmigiana. You'll just about swear this is eggplant or veal! One of my husband's favorites, and he doesn't even suspect! Serve with a simple crisp green salad, angel hair pasta and garlic bread.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs

  • 5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided

  • salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Slice tofu into 1/4 inch thick slices, and place in bowl of cold water. One at a time, press tofu slices into crumb mixture, turning to coat all sides.

  3. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook tofu slices until crisp on one side. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, turn, and brown on the other side.

  4. Combine tomato sauce, basil, garlic, and remaining oregano. Place a thin layer of sauce in an 8 inch square baking pan. Arrange tofu slices in the pan. Spoon remaining sauce over tofu. Top with shredded mozzarella and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan.

  5. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
