Ingredients
- 1 block of extra firm tofu
- ½ cup vegan parmesan
- ½ cup vegan mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon mushroom powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Start by pressing the block of tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- While the tofu is pressing, prepare the stuffing mixture. In a food processor, combine the vegan parmesan, vegan mozzarella, olive oil, mushroom powder, garlic powder, flour, and soy sauce. Pulse until everything is well combined and forms a thick, cheesy mixture.
- Once the tofu has been pressed, slice it into ½-inch thick patties. Using a spoon or your fingers, carefully hollow out the center of each patty to create a small pocket for the cheese stuffing.
- Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture into the center of each tofu patty, then press the edges together to seal in the filling.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Carefully place the stuffed tofu patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the patties hot with your favorite toppings, such as sliced red onions, fresh basil, or a dollop of tomato sauce. Enjoy!
