Slice tofu lengthwise into half inch slices. Place in a dish with pesto and oil, cover, refrigerate for eight hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 175ºC (350°F). In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat.
Dip each piece into beaten eggs, then into seasoned bread crumbs. Carefully place tofu slices in the hot pan and pan fry both sides until golden brown on both sides.
Add half a cup of tomato sauce to a 9-inch baking dish. Place tofu slices evenly over sauce, slightly overlapping if needed. Top with remaining tomato sauce, then top with parmesan cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with green salad and a slice of whole wheat garlic toast.
For chef Dhillon, nothing beats the marriage of fresh ingredients and unexpected spices lending an unpretentiously brilliant twist to his take on even the humble classics.
