Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with more melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve with fresh butter and sliced ham.
QUICK TOFU AND CASHEW SOUR CREAM (VEGAN)
Sounds so yummy! This recipe is from Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Update: I tried this today and was really pleased with the results! I used it with recipe #161324 by Tigerduck and I couldn't tell it wasn't real sour cream. Of course you can tell its not the real thing when eating it plain, but it's still nice. Best alternative when mixing it with other ingredients you would use sour cream with though. I'm sure I'll get the same terrific results when I use it in a black bean soup I plan to make tomorrow.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in blender, except the chives. Blend for at least 1 minute until silky smooth.
- Add the chives. (Blend briefly or green sour cream will result).
- Serve (thickens more if chilled).
Tips:
- Opt for firm or extra-firm tofu for a better texture and ability to hold its shape during cooking.
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess water and achieve a firmer texture.
- To press tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, place it on a plate, and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a heavy skillet or a stack of cans.
- Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking to infuse it with flavor.
- When pan-frying tofu, use a non-stick skillet and a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- For the sour cream, use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier texture.
- Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to the sour cream for a tangy flavor.
- Season the sour cream with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
- Serve the chive tofu with the sour cream and your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
