Here’s a tasty Vegan Tofu and Mushroom Cheezy Florentine recipe for you:

Ingredients:

For the Tofu and Mushroom Filling:

• 14 oz (400g) extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
• 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for color)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Cheezy Sauce:

• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat)
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegan margarine or olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Florentine:

• 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 4 slices of whole-grain bread (or preferred bread)
• Vegan cheese slices or shreds (optional, for topping)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu and Mushroom Filling:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and released their moisture.
• Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The turmeric is added for color, giving the tofu an egg-like appearance.

2. Prepare the Cheezy Sauce:

• In a separate saucepan, melt the vegan margarine over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
• Slowly pour in the plant-based milk while whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Cook and whisk for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
• Stir in the nutritional yeast and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Florentine:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Toast the slices of bread until they are lightly crisp.
• Place a handful of fresh spinach on each slice of toast.
• Spoon the tofu and mushroom filling over the spinach.
• Drizzle the cheezy sauce generously over the filling.
• Optionally, add vegan cheese slices or shreds on top for extra cheesiness.

4. Bake and Serve:

• Place the assembled Florentines on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and everything is heated through.

5. Garnish and Enjoy:

• Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish, if desired, and serve your Vegan Tofu and Mushroom Cheezy Florentine hot.

This recipe offers a satisfying and delicious vegan twist on the classic Florentine dish, with the creamy tofu and mushroom filling and cheesy sauce.
