Bake on greased cookie sheet for 5-7 minutes, or until bottoms are crisp and lightly browned. Then flip and bake another 5-7 minutes.Serve with buns or on top of salad.Nutrition Facts are using 4C Italian-style bread crumbs and 1/4 cup reduced fat and 1/2 cup regular cheddar.*Wrap tofu in paper towels and press between two plates with something heavy on top for up to 2 hours. Frozen tofu is great for use in veggie burgers! Just defrost like you would meet and then wring out all the water using paper towels. It's fine if the tofu crumbles because you'll be crumbling it up in this recipe anyways!Serving Size:?9 burgersNumber of Servings: 9Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LILABE11.
