Quick Easy Tofu Recipes:
Tofu Feta Pie

This dish is similar to a tofu quiche - but the recipe is much easier. Since there is no crust to make, I can have Tofu Feta Pie in the oven in less than 20 minutes.

To freeze tofu, drain off the water in the package. Place in a sealed container or freezer bag and put in the freezer for up to 6 months. You can crumble the frozen block of tofu if you like, but it would be easier to thaw it first.

  Spread the tofu over the onions.
  Sprinkle with the tamari.

  Substitutions
  • Use soy sauce instead of tamari.

  • Use any variety of sweet onion (Vidalia, Walla Walla or your favourite) in place of the red onion. Don't use a hot onion, though.

  Ideas for making this recipe your own

  • What about mixing in another variety of cheese as well as the feta?

  • Try using different types of crackers.

  • Experiment with different liquids in place of the apple juice. Hmmm….what about some white wine?

  Tips

  • To crumble tofu, use your clean hands. Or you could dice the tofu with a knife instead.
