Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 block firm tofu, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
-
Fry Tofu Slices: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the tofu slices and fry until golden brown on both sides. Once done, remove the tofu slices from the pan and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
-
Prepare Tomato Sauce: In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sautรฉ until tender and fragrant.
-
Simmer with Tomatoes and Spices: Add the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried rosemary to the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened and the flavors have melded together to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
-
Assemble Tofu Parmesan: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Arrange the fried tofu slices in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the tofu slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and grated parmesan cheese over the top of the tofu and tomato sauce mixture, creating a deliciously cheesy topping.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tofu is heated through. For a golden brown crust, you can broil the Tofu Parmesan for a couple of minutes at the end.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Tofu Parmesan from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
