In our family we always make two versions of each recipe; one traditional and one vegan. And we know many families are in the same boat as us with a mixture of different dietary restrictions and preferences. While it can sometimes be more time consuming to make two different meals, we’re happy to say we’ve gained a whole new level of cooking creativity in recent years!
For this camp recipe we were looking for an easy way to make a vegan version of our family candied smoked bacon and eggs recipe. After sampling different pre-made vegan bacon and vegan eggs, we found our favorites!
We recommend using Lightlife Smart Bacon and JUST Egg plant-based eggs. The seasoning will also work well with other vegan bacon alternatives, such as tempeh or carrot bacon. But if you’re looking for something quick in the morning or at the campground, this is a great option.
For the egg alternative, we’ve found that JUST Egg works the best for scrambles and has that eggy flavor and consistency. Just be sure to oil your griddle or pan because this option tends to stick!
We love making this recipe on our flat pack grills, especially our 1-person Spark grill as we’re often just cooking one serving. The griddle plate and skewers are perfect tools for making this recipe extra flavorful!
