Grilled Cheese Tofu

[ReeseTaki]

Just tried this amazing Grilled Cheese Tofu recipe and it's a game-changer! Perfect for when you want something cheesy but a bit healthier. The combo of crispy tofu and melty Parmesan is to die for. Plus, the miso paste adds a nice umami kick! Served it up with some dill pickles and a green salad. Seriously, you all need to try this!


Grilled Cheese Tofu

Ingredients:

• 200 g firm tofu
• 50 g grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon white miso paste or Vegemite (optional)
• 1/4 cup dill pickles or green salad

Directions:

1. Preheat your grill to high.
2. Line a tray with foil and lightly oil it. Place the tofu slice on the tray and grill for about 2 minutes or until it begins to brown. For a deeper color, grill until golden brown.
3. In a small bowl, combine the egg and Parmesan cheese.
4. Flip the tofu so the browned side is on the bottom. Spread a thin layer of miso paste or Vegemite (if using) on the surface of the tofu, or season generously with salt. Spoon the egg and Parmesan mixture over the top, covering most of the tofu.
5. Return to the grill and cook for another 2 minutes or until the cheese mixture is puffed and deeply golden brown.
6. Serve hot with dill pickles or a green salad on the side.

You all have to try this, it's a total game-changer!

Thanks so much! I like to press the tofu to remove excess moisture and then coat it with a little cornstarch before grilling. It helps to get that nice, crispy exterior. Hope you give it a try!
