Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Vegan Cordon Bleu
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the super firm tofu from its packaging and blot it with a paper towel. Slice the tofu block in half horizontally and create pockets in each piece.
  3. Stuff the tofu pockets with slices of vegan ham and pieces of vegan cheese.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together non-dairy milk, flour, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning until thick but pourable.
  5. Dip each stuffed tofu block into the batter to coat thoroughly, then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Place the coated tofu on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Soak raw cashews in warm water for 15 minutes, then blend with water, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, and salt until smooth.
  8. Allow the Vegan Cordon Bleu to cool slightly before serving with the creamy Dijon sauce drizzled on top.
