Steps

1

Cut the tofu horizontally into 4 thin, even slices. Place the slices on a paper towel.
2

Gently press the tofu slices with another paper towel to remove excess moisture. (No need to microwave.)
3

Make 2 sandwiches by layering tofu on the top and bottom with a slice of cheese in the middle. Use a spatula to move the tofu to prevent it from breaking.
4

Lightly coat each sandwich with flour, dip in beaten egg, then cover with panko breadcrumbs. For the bottom, press into the panko; for the top, sprinkle panko over.
5

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the cutlets for about 3 minutes. Pour any leftover egg mixture over the top so it doesn't go to waste.
6

Carefully flip the cutlets with a spatula, add a little more oil if needed, and cook for another 3 minutes.
7

Slice the cutlets for easy serving and arrange on a plate so the melty cheese is visible. Enjoy!
8

They're delicious as is thanks to the cheese, but if you like, add salt and pepper to taste.
