How to Make Tofu Divan

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Steam or blanch 1 pound of broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 14 ounces of extra-firm tofu, crumbled, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned.
  4. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of shredded Gruyère cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Swiss), 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until melted and smooth.
  7. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the broccoli, followed by the sautéed tofu, and then the remaining broccoli.
  8. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the broccoli and tofu.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the top.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
