Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked until crisp
- 1 cup plant-based cheese (plant-based), grated or crumbled
- 1 cup fresh spinach, wilted
- 1 small onion, chopped and sautéed
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional Variations
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chives, or thyme, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes
- Alternative protein: sliced sausage or plant-based bacon alternatives
- Different plant-based cheese (plant-based) varieties such as mozzarella or sharp cheddar style, 1 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a pan until crisp, then drain on paper towels. Chop the onion and sauté until translucent. Wilt the fresh spinach in the same pan. Grate or crumble the plant-based cheese (plant-based) for easy mixing.
- Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and plant-based milk until smooth and frothy. Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper, blending well. Gradually stir in the natural gelling agent to ensure an even texture throughout the mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked turkey bacon, sautéed onion, wilted spinach, and plant-based cheese (plant-based) into the egg mixture, making sure all ingredients are evenly distributed for balanced flavor.
- Bake the Quiche: Pour the mixture into a lightly greased or non-stick baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the quiche has puffed, set in the center, and is golden on top. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and plant-based milk to ensure a smooth blend and fluffier texture.
- Do not overcook; bake until just set to keep the quiche tender and avoid dryness.
- Mix ingredients gently but thoroughly for uniform flavor and texture in every bite.
- Let the quiche rest a few minutes after baking to achieve cleaner slices.
- Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even cooking and easy serving.
