Baked Italian Style Tofu (Toaster Oven)
"My toaster oven has a fan in it and I love to use it to brown foods. I came up with this tofu recipe yesterday and I was delighted with the results. I served this with pasta and Marinara sauce."

ingredients
directions
- Preheat the toaster oven to 350'F
- Line your toaster oven pan with tin foil and spray generously with coconut oil. I use coconut because it doesn't go rancid like other oils when they are heated.
- Open the tofu packages and drain.
- Break the egg in a shallow dish and beat it until combined.
- Put the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Cut each of the tofu blocks in half the long way. This will give you 4 blocks total. If you like it thinner cut them into 3 so you have 6 pieces.
- Dip in the egg, then the bread crumbs. Salt and pepper the tops.
- Place on the prepared pan and spray each piece with oil generously.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check them periodically to make sure they aren't burning.
- Serve with your favourite spaghetti sauce and pasta. You can even make them into a sandwich with toppings. This is very versatile.
- Bon Appetit!

I used one package of firm tofu packed in water which I cut in half and then into thirds because I wanted thinner slices. Then I used fresh bread crumbs mixed with Italian seasonings and salt. I sprayed a glass baking dish with Pam and then sprayed the tops of each piece with Pam. I baked at 350 degrees in a regular oven for 30 minutes and then broiled on low until the tops were well browned. They were super crispy! I served it with a fresh tomato sauce and pasta. Excellent!!

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
