Chef's tip
Cook it only until crisp, adding a little oil to the pan - vegetarian bacon cooks much faster than pork bacon and can scorch. If the recipe simmers or bakes the bacon further, set it aside and stir it back in near the end.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
6 tbsp unsalted butter, frozen
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Chef's tip
Shred it and warm it gently; dairy-free cheddar melts best baked into a dish.
2 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)
¾ cup cold heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1 large egg, cold

Instructions

1
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the strips are crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool completely, then chop into small pieces.
2
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
