If you’re skeptical of tofu or just need a new recipe, this one’s for you! It couldn’t be easier with only 4 ingredients. Simply pop the tofu under a broiler. But what really makes this special is the egg and parmesan mixture that is placed on top of the tofu. Once under the broiler, the egg and cheese puffs, creating a delicious dome of golden goodness.

Grilled Cheese Tofu
Ingredients
16 ounce container firm or extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 4 rectangles
1-2 teaspoons white miso
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
Ingredients
Directions
- Set oven to broil. Place an oven rack about 5-6 inches below the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil (not parchment because this will burn under the broiler). Place 4 rectangles of tofu on baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil the tofu about 2-3 minutes per side to get the tofu warm and slightly browned.
- Remove from oven and divide the miso to spread over the top of each piece of tofu. You don’t need a lot of miso, but you do need it to add some umami flavor and saltiness to the tofu. 1-2 teaspoons should be enough for all 4 rectangles.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and parmesan cheese. Using a spoon, top each piece of tofu with this mixture.
- Return baking sheet to broiler and broil for about 2 minutes or until top of tofu is puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on it. It may cook faster or slower.
- Serve with a large green leafy salad or a big side of steamed veggies.
