Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz package tofu extra firm
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large cloves garlic

Instructions

Press the Tofu

  • Before you begin you must first press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu in half, length-wise. Lay on clean dishtowel and cover with plastic wrap. Place something heavy over the tofu pieces (I used cans of food) for at least 30 minutes.

To Make the Chèvre

  • Place all ingredients in food processor. Pulse until well-blended using a spatula frequently to scrape sides and bottom of processing bowl. The mixture should be smooth and creamy but not liquidy.
  • Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap over a cutting board. Spoon mixture onto plastic wrap and fold it over the mixture creating a roll. Smooth the roll with your fingers and place in freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove roll from plastic wrap and place on baking sheet. Brush roll with thin coat of olive oil.
  • Cook for 20-30 minutes until roll starts to turn golden. Remove and let cool before serving.

Notes

The best way to serve Tofu Chèvre after it finishes baking is to chill for 2 or more hours in refrigerator so that it has a chance to set and doesn't crumble when you cut it.
