NOTES : I usually take about equal amounts of nutritional yeast and corn

flour and maybe a little corn meal and/or whole wheat pastry flour and

mix it together with a bit of salt & pepper, paprika, and garlic

powder. I coat the tofu slices on both sides, then brown in a lightly

oiled pan.

 

These make great sandwiches. I wouldn't say they are like " fried eggs "

but we love them and this is very easy to make at the last minute, as it

doesn't require much preparation. My tofu-loving son, who doesn't like

" stuff " on tofu, loves this recipe.
