4 servings
For the patties
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu
- 6 strips bacon
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced (green and light green parts only)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For cooking

- 4 slices cheddar cheese
For serving
- 4 burger buns, split and toasted

- lettuce leaves (optional)

Instructions
- 1
Drain the tofu and wrap it in several layers of paper towels. Set it on a baking sheet, place a heavy skillet or cutting board on top, and press for 30 minutes to remove as much moisture as possible.

While the tofu presses, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and deeply browned, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces. Pour off all but 1 tsp of the bacon fat from the skillet and set the skillet aside.
