* NOTES- These were so delicious and easy to make. You can serve this as a meal or as an appetizer as well. If your trying tofu for the first time this recipe will surely be a good one to try. Very flavorful and cheesy tasting from the nutritional yeast. It is not active yeast so no worries about getting yeast infections. It has many health benefits to it and is a wonderful cheese supplement for vegan and raw lifestyles.
