Recipe from ‘Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone’ by Deborah Madison

Ingredients

• 1, 1-pound package Chinese-style tofu or 2, 10-ounce boxes silken tofu

• 1 cup fine bread crumbs, fresh or dried

• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, Asiago, or other hard cheese

• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

• 1 teaspoon dried basil or marjoram

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1/2 teaspoon dried savory

• 1 egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons milk

• olive oil for frying

Directions

1. Slice the tofu into slabs about 1/3 inch thick and set them on paper towels to drain. Meanwhile, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, and herbs in a flat dish. Dip each piece of tofu into the egg mixture, then the bread crumbs.

2. Film a skillet with the oil. When hot, add the tofu and fry over medium heat on both sides until golden, 10 to 12 minutes in all.
