Instructions
  • Toast the almonds: Place almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring often, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Make the creamy base: In a food processor, combine the tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, agave, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until silky smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. (A blender works too, though it may take more effort to blend.)
  • Mix it up: Transfer the tofu base to a medium bowl. Fold in the toasted almonds, vegan cheddar, bacon bits, and green onions.
  • Serve: Spoon into a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved almonds, cheese bacon bits, and green onions and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired. Serve with crackers, baguette, or fresh veggies.
