Mini Tofu Omelets

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 8 ounces lite firm tofu (1/2 block)
• 3 slices soy cheese (homemade or store-bought)
• your choice of dried spices (optional)

Recipe

• 1 do not press the tofu (it will shred if you do - and in this case, not pressing it won't result in a soggy wet mess). instead, take your 1/2 block, lay it on the counter, and very carefully slice the top of it with a cheese slicer, making each slice as thick as the cheese slicer will allow. remove the slice and repeat. you should end up with approximately 6 thin slices (some ripping may occur, but just go slowly and it should stay intact).
• 2 lay each slice on a large pan sprayed with pam, on your stovetop (medium heat).
• 3 sprinkle the tops of the tofu slices with dried spices (or brush on some hot sauce), if you'd like more of a kick to your omelet.
• 4 when the bottom of each slice has turned golden brown, flip them. when both sides are golden brown, remove from the stove. they will have shrunken a little, but that's because the water has cooked out.
• 5 sandwich a slice of vegan cheese between 2 slices of tofu, so that you end up with 3 mini omelet sandwiches. if you want the cheese to melt, microwave them for about 10 - 30 seconds (depending on your microwave's power).
• 6 enjoy with ketchup or plain! makes a great "omelet" sandwich when between bread! and i'll bet adding vegan sausage to the sandwich would be good too (even more protein)!
