Ingredients:
- 15 oz block tofu, extra firm
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- Neutral oil, for shallow frying
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 slices Nafsika’s Garden Provolone sliced cheese style
- 1/4 cup grated Nafsika’s Garden Parmesan style, block
Instructions:
- Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 6 even pieces and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and plant-based milk until smooth.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Dip each tofu slice into the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated, then dredge the tofu in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs stick. Repeat with the remaining tofu pieces.
- Heat a large skillet with about 1/2 inch of neutral oil over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot and sizzling, carefully add the breaded tofu slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- To assemble the sandwich, take a slice of bread, place 2 crispy tofu pieces on top, followed by marinara sauce, Nafsika’s Garden Provolone slices, and grated Parmesan.
- Broil the assembled sandwich in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, slice in half, and enjoy your Crispy Tofu Parmesan Sandwich hot and fresh!
