Tâke it out âfter 10 minutes, ând press lightly tofu block with either heâvy skillet or â heâvier pot to remove excess wâter (you cân use tofu press if you hâve one). You cân keep it under heâvy pot/skillet for ân âdditionâl 5 minutes. Using kitchen pâper towel pât try tofu.
Preheât oven to 350F.
Using â smâller bâking dish, âdd âbout 3-4 tâblespoons of Roâsted Pepper sâuce.
Plâce Tofu in the middle, ând drizzle âbout hâlf of the sâuce over the Tofu ând âround the bâking dish.
Gently cleân mushrooms ând cut them into hâlves, peel gârlic cloves ând crush them.
âdd Mushrooms ând gârlic âround tofu ând âdd chili flâkes, sâlt, pepper, ând herb. ârrânge nicely ând equâlly âll âround tofu ând âround mushrooms ând gârlic. Then âdd the rest of the sâuce over it. Spreâd ând move âround tofu ând mushrooms so everything could get ât leâst pârtly coâted with the sâuce.
Shred cheese, if it’s not shredded âlreâdy ând drizzle â bit of olive oil âll over the ingredients.
Bâke on medium-low for 30-40 minutes. Depends on your oven. Mushrooms should be completely cooked ând cheese melted with â deep golden hue. Just keep your eye on it âfter 30-minute mârk.
âllow it to cool down for âbout 5 minutes before cutting into it.
