6 strips bacon
Chef's tip
Cook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed.
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

2 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
4 slices cheddar cheese
Chef's tip
Shred it and warm it gently; dairy-free cheddar melts best baked into a dish.

For serving

4 burger buns, split and toasted
mayonnaise, to taste (optional)
lettuce leaves (optional)
sliced tomato (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.
2
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.
