To make the coconut 'bacon' - Clean your coconut 'meat' so there is no wood chips or pieces of shell. Slice the coconut into 1 -2 inch thick strips.
Add your coconut slices to a bowl and mix with the spices. Stir to evenly coat.
To dehydrate - Place the marinated coconut 'bacon' strips on a lined dehydrator rack. Dehydrate for 6 - 8 hours, until the moisture has reduced.
To make the tofu 'egg' - Use your fingers to crumble the tofu into pieces. Add your tofu and spices to a bowl and mix.
Heat a large skillet with 1 tsp. olive oil. Once hot add your tofu mixture to the pan. Sauté 5 - 7 minutes, until golden brown. Stir occasionally.
To serve - Toast the bread to golden brown. Top with your tofu scrambled 'eggz' and coconut 'bacon'. Serve warm.
To store - Best served fresh or store 1 day in the fridge. Store coconut bacon 2 - 3 days.
