This has become my new favorite for Sunday Brunch!
Paneer “Bacon”
-One package Paneer
-Extra Virgin Olive oil
-Trader Joe’s Mushroom & Co Umami Seasoning
-Flower of the Ocean Celtic Sea Salt
Slice Paneer into 1/8-1/16” strips. Season both sides generously with umami seasoning.
Heat a flat griddle or large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Drizzle enough olive oil to coat the surface well. Lay the pieces on and fry until brown and crispy. Flip over and fry other side until brown and crispy. Remove strips from pan and sprinkle with Celtic Sea Salt.

Is it like halloumi when cooked like this?

I don’t understand the point of calling this bacon.
It’s just pan fried halloumi. Delicious.

Ooh, gonna have to try this one! I’ve done fried halloumi with breakfast, and it’s really not the same.
I actually have some paneer that needs using up soon, but I often replace it with queso fresco because it’s cheaper and easier to come by where I live. I wonder if it would cook up similarly. 🤔

Looks good for what it is, but please don’t call it bacon. For one, it’s not cured and smoked. It’s also less fatty. But most importantly, it’s the kind of false equivalency that makes omnivores not take vegetarians or vegans seriously.
With that said, I’ve cured and cold smoked things like tempeh, tofu, and seitan to approximate bacon. Pan fry slices of those in a lot of fat and you’ll get something closer in texture and flavor.
