How to Make Baked Tofu With Mushroom Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Press 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Cut into 4 thick slices.
  3. Lightly coat tofu slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
  4. Place tofu slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Flip tofu slices and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While tofu bakes, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.
  7. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, to the skillet. Sauté for 10 minutes, or until softened. Do not brown.
  8. 5 minutes before the tofu is finished baking, whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup plain yogurt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  10. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until gravy slightly thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.
  11. Spoon mushroom gravy generously over baked tofu slices.
  12. Serve immediately with roasted potatoes (cubed potatoes tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, roasted alongside the tofu) and your favorite steamed vegetables, such as green beans or broccoli.
