” Breaded tofu alla parmigiana. You’ll just about swear this is
eggplant or veal! One of my husband’s favorites, and he doesn’t
even suspect! Serve with a simple crisp green salad,
angel hair pasta, and garlic bread. ”

Ingredients
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt to taste

1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
