Caprese Tofu Burgers (And a $100 gift card giveaway!) – GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Pin It PIN IT!
My husband and I aren’t huge meat eaters. We’re not vegans or vegetarians by any means, but we’re also not carnivores either. I probably make 1 -2 recipes a week that have meat, and most of those contain either bacon or pork belly. Plus, with both of us trying to shed some extra weight, meat has sort of been absent from our dinner plates.

This is why I was really excited to participate in the BlogHer Wildwood review and try some of their meatless products, like the baked tofu snacks and crumbles. Although we don’t eat them often, we love burgers and it’s hard to find good veggie substitutes. Honestly, I think we’ve probably tried every brand out there without much luck. They are bland, really chewy or very crumbly, which is why I decided to use the tofu stacks to make my own version of veggie burgers.

Wildwood tofu

To give the burgers a bit more oomph, we topped each tofu patty with mozzarella, basil and tomatoes. Even without the add ons, I think these tofu patties would be amazing on their own. They are hearty and thick, which make them feel like a burger when you’re eating them, which is half the fun of eating a burger, when you have to grab it with both hands because it’s so hefty.

caprese tofu sliders

Perfect for any time, any season, any day, trust me. I LOVE these burgers! Now, for the fun part. A $100 visa gift card giveaway! Wanna know how to win? Simply answer this question in the comments below!  What would be your ideal recipe when using Wildwood products?

Caprese tofu sliders

Yields about 4 sliders.

Ingredients:

  • 2 packages Wildwood baked tofu patties
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella
  • 4 slices tomatoes
  • 4 whole wheat slider buns
  • Fresh basil
  • Balsamic glaze

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. place tofu patties on a greased baking dish and bake for about 5 minutes or until warm. Immediately top with fresh mozzarella (it’ll melt a little). Place patty on the bottom of the slider buns.

2. Add tomatoes, fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Top the tomatoes with the top of the bun and enjoy!

    I would try a veggie version for franceschina, I've been thinking in making that recipe, but the husband is vegetarian so this tofu seems promising to replace the steak that the franceschina has in the recipe!

    Though I've never cooked with tofu, I do enjoy it occasionally when we eat out. I've always semi-joked that I'd make bacon-wrapped tofu. :) I think it would be tasty, though! I'd marinate it in a teriyaki or barbecue sauce, wrap it in bacon, then toss it under the broiler for a few minutes.

    My ideal would be Coconut Tofu (like coconut shrimp)! I've made this and it is delish. You make a batter and dip chunks of firm tofu in it. Then roll the tofu in sweetened coconut (can use unsweetened if you want) and add a little spice to the coconut. Saute in coconut oil. They are soo good! Kids love it for dinner, as a side dish, snack! I love all tofu! I would love to have this!!!

I use whatever veggies I have in the fridge - usually carrots, snap peas, zucchini, eggplant, and kale - add my homemade Thai ginger-soy sauce, and top it off with a big handful of arugula. Garnished with some Thai basil, it is SO tasty! Some diced Wildwood tofu would be e perfect protein to bring it all together!
