Our vegan bacon is made with aubergine (or eggplant), and is smokey and salty, giving it those real bacon-y flavours, guilt-free. It goes really great with a vegan full English, but is also a solid edition to a vegan BLT sandwich.

It's great served as part of a vegan full English breakfast. For the scrambled tofu, we keep it really simple - none of this onion, parsley, cumin etc. nonsense that people seem to add to tofu when trying to replicate eggs. We've already posted the recipe for it as a scrambled tofu on toast recipe, so go check that out, you'll struggle to find a recipe closer to the real thing!

- Brush any remaining liquid onto the aubergine slices on the tray.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, turn the slices over, then bake for another 5-10 minutes - how long they take is really going to depend on your oven, your tray, and just how thick the slices were, so keep a close eye on them and make a call on when they're done!
