Vegan Croque Monsieur

Yes! Yum yum yum this. The pickles at the end really added some balance. Question PUL team - is there a good technique for getting the marinade to really penetrate the tofu? I had it marinating for 6 hours and it was only a little way into the tofu.

Thank you so much, CK! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Pickled really are the best, aren't they? For marinating, a few things can help the tofu absorb more flavour: 1) press the tofu as well as possible - the more liquid that seeps out, the more the pores open up to absorb the marinade, 2) slice the tofu thinner, 3) lightly score the surface with a knife to create more surface area, 4) let it sit in a shallow dish so more of the tofu is in contact with the marinade and flip it a couple of times while it soaks, and 5) patience and time always help - the longer it can marinate, the better. Hope this helps, and thanks again for trying the recipe 🫶

Amazing dinner! My husband and I loved this one. I’d 100% remake. Yum!

Satisfying meal! Somehow we had a lot of tofu compared to our toast. It was good though, but did take more effort/time than we expected.

Hi PUL team, thanks for this wonderful recipe, I can't wait to try it! 😍 Just a quick feedback on something else (sorry for writing here but I wasn't sure how else to do this): I have noticed in the tab "similar recipes" there are 2, namely "Mustard Mushroom & Bean Bowl" and "Vegan Reuben Tofu Sandwich", that don't open when selecting them. When I click on these 2 recipes, a page opens that says "Recipe not found". Just letting you know in case this is a bug. :)

Hey Martina, oh you're the best! We hope you love the recipe and thanks for flagging the "similar recipes" bug. We'll be taking a closer look and hope to resolve this in a few days. Happy cooking 🤗✨

I just tried it out this morning and it was phenomenal!! It satisfied my savoury cravings and it was easy to make, do not skip on the mustard, as it gives the necessary kick.
