Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil (natural) in a skillet over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and stir occasionally for 30 to 40 minutes, allowing them to turn golden and develop a sweet, caramelized flavor without rushing this critical step.
  2. Cook Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a separate pan, cook the chopped smoked turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil and set aside.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture with Cheese and Herbs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with the plant-based cheese, chopped fresh herbs, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined for a fluffy texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients and Cook: Add the caramelized onions and turkey bacon into the egg mixture. Pour the combined mixture into a lightly oiled oven-safe skillet. Cook over medium heat until the edges just start to set, then transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) to finish cooking and develop a golden crust, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Patience with onions is crucial: slow cooking enhances their natural sweetness.
  • Add fresh chopped herbs just before serving to keep their bright flavor.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet for even cooking and easy transfer to the oven.
  • Whisk eggs until slightly frothy to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • Choose high-quality plant-based cheese for the best melting and creaminess.
