Tofu Parmigiana image

Breaded tofu a la parmigiana. You'll just about swear this is eggplant or veal! One of my husband's favorites, and he doesn't even suspect! Serve with a simple crisp green salad, angel hair pasta and garlic bread.

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but this recipe made me a believer! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was tangy and flavorful. I served it with a side of spaghetti and it was a hit with my family.
