Best Vegan Feta Cheese | Easy Vegan Substitute for Feta Cheese
Ingredients
1 block firm tofu, pressed(16 oz package approx 350g-400g)
1.5 tbsp nutritional yeast
1.5 tbsp red miso paste
5 oz refined/deodorized coconut oil, melted
1 tsp. lactic acid
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp garlic paste
Directions
Press your tofu to remove excess liquid and Place tofu, nutritional yeast, miso, coconut oil, lactic acid, apple cider vinegar, salt and garlic paste in a blender. Puree until very smooth, scraping down the sides. It's probably better just to use a plunger with a Vitamix.
It gets quite thick, so you will need to help it along with a damper or wooden spoon. This may take some time, let it blend.
Taste and salt as needed.
Place tofu mixture into a sealable Tupperware or bowl. Cover and place in the fridge to firm up overnight. I prefer a silicon cheese form. Square works nicely.
Cut into feta-like cubes, or use a spoon to scrape out the feta and top salads, use in spanakopita, or spread on crackers or bread.
Notes
This actually tastes more like blue cheese than feta. I'm waiting to see how nicely it firms up. It still was a good cheese though. I do not understand why all these vegans like nasty onion powder. It makes the cheese taste like ass.
