Crispy Tofu with Creamed Spinach and Cheezy Drizzle

1. Prepare the tofu

Begin by preparing the tofu. Using your broiler, broil the tofu for about 10 minutes until it’s golden and crispy. This will give the tofu a nice texture that pairs well with the creamy spinach and cheezy sauce.

2. Cook the spinach

While the tofu is broiling, get your spinach ready. Place a large pan on medium-high heat. With the spinach still wet from washing, add it to the pan in batches. The water clinging to the leaves will help steam the spinach, causing it to wilt beautifully. This step ensures your spinach retains its vibrant green color and nutrients.

3. Add garlic and sauces to spinach

Once the spinach is wilted, make some space in the pan and add the minced garlic, 1/4 cup of water, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Cook this mixture for a few minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the liquid has slightly reduced. This combination will infuse the spinach with a delicious, aromatic flavor.

4. Assemble the dish

Now, it’s time to assemble your dish. Start by laying a base of your choice on each plate. You can use either the Diner Home Fries or a toasted English muffin.

5. Layer the spinach

Next, cover the base with a generous layer of your cooked spinach. The bright green color and savory aroma should make your mouth water.

6. Add the tofu

Add four pieces of the broiled tofu on top of the spinach. The tofu should be crispy and golden, providing a perfect contrast to the soft spinach and the crunchy base.

7. Drizzle the Cheezy Sauce

Drizzle the Cheezy Sauce over the tofu and spinach. This sauce will add a creamy, cheesy flavor that ties all the elements of the dish together.

8. Garnish with chopped tomato

Finally, garnish your creation with some chopped tomato. This adds a fresh, juicy element that balances the richness of the dish.
