Best Recipe for Tofu and Portobello Mushroom Parmigiana

Ingredients

  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu, cut into four 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Stir bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons oregano, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Place tofu in a bowl of cold water. Place mushrooms in a separate bowl of cold water. Remove 1 mushroom from water; press mushroom into bread crumb mixture and turn to coat all sides. Transfer breaded mushroom to a plate. Repeat with remaining mushrooms and tofu slices.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook breaded tofu and mushrooms in hot oil until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top, turn mushrooms and tofu slices, and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
  5. Whisk tomato sauce, garlic, remaining oregano, and basil together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Spread a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Arrange tofu slices in a single layer over sauce, and top each tofu slice with a mushroom. Spoon remaining sauce over mushrooms and tofu; top with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and mixture is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
