Emeril's Tofu Parmesan

YIELD 4 to 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds	firm tofu, cut into ½ inch slices
1/3 cup	olive oil
1 tablespoon	minced garlic
1 tablespoon	chopped basil
2 teaspoons	chopped thyme
1 teaspoon	chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon	chopped oregano
½ teaspoon	chili flakes
1 ½ cups	panko
3 cups	marinara sauce
1 pound	mozzarella cheese grated or sliced
Parmesan cheese, grated

PREPARATION:

Arrange tofu slices in a glass baking dish, marinate with 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and chili flakes. Let stand for 2 hours. Dredge the tofu slices in the panko, press lightly to evenly crust each piece of tofu. In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil to just about smoking, and sauté the tofu until lightly browned on both sides (1 to 2 minutes). Layer the tofu in a baking dish with the marinara sauce and mozzarella. Sprinkle the top layer with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes until sauce is bubbly, cheese is browned, and tofu is heated through.
Serve immediately.
Editor's Note: Look for organic tofu and cheese, and try growing your own herbs.
