Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 clove garlic, smashed
8 fresh basil leaves, torn
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 large egg
1 12-ounce package firm tofu, drained and sliced into 8 pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 loaf whole-wheat Italian bread, cut into 4 pieces and split in half
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound baby spinach (about 8 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil and 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Toss the breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons parmesan and the Italian seasoning on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip the tofu in the egg, then in the crumbs, turning to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the bread cut-side up on a broiler pan; spread the bottom halves with sauce, then top with tofu, more sauce, the mozzarella and remaining parmesan. Broil until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in the empty skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and let wilt, about 1 minute. Place on top of the cheese and cover with the bread tops.

Categories     Soy     Vegetable     Bake     Vegetarian

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Filling
1 12 oz package of tofu, drained on paper towels
1 medium zucchini (shredded)
1/2 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced or crushed)
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning (or 1 teaspoon each: oregano, basil, rosemary, sage)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 egg whites (slightly beaten)
Topping
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 each red and green bell peppers diced
1/2 lb sliced button mushrooms
1/2 medium diced onion
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 jar prepared (or leftover homemade) marinara sauce
4-8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mash the tofu and then add other filling ingredients. Mix well and set aside. Saute the peppers, mushrooms, onion and garlic over medium heat, add the pasta sauce, mix well and remove from heat Grease a 9x9 or round glass baking dish. Pour a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom, follow with 1/2 of the tofu mixture (press into the bottom of the pan), pour 1/2 of the remaining sauce and vegetable mixure over the tofu and spread evenly, top with 1/2 of the shredded cheeses. Repeat the layers with the remaining tofu, sauce and cheeses, ending with a layer of cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and not crumble when you bake it.
  • Press the tofu before baking. This will help remove excess moisture and make the tofu more crispy.
  • Coat the tofu in a mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. This will help the tofu brown and give it a flavorful crust.
  • Bake the tofu at a high temperature. This will help the tofu get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Top the tofu with a flavorful sauce. A classic tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce are both great options.
  • Serve the tofu with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, pasta, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Tofu Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and tender interior, Tofu Parmesan is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Tofu Parmesan a try. You won't be disappointed!
