For a richer flavor, consider using olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
If you don't have oyster mushrooms, cremini mushrooms work well as a substitute.
Pressing the tofu before blending removes excess water and results in a smoother, creamier filling. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place a heavy object on top for about 30 minutes.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Gruyere or Monterey Jack would also be delicious.
