Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen spinach, squeezed to remove excess moisture
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces. Using the same pan, sauté diced onions until translucent, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk the Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk or plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent together until smooth and fluffy to create an airy texture.
- Combine and Mix: Add the sautéed vegetables, chopped bacon, and shredded plant-based cheese to the egg mixture. Fold gently to distribute all ingredients evenly without deflating the mixture.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or pie pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and the quiche is set in the center. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for maximum fluffiness.
- Press out excess moisture from frozen spinach or watery vegetables to prevent sogginess.
- Fold ingredients carefully to maintain the airy texture; avoid overmixing.
- Let the quiche rest for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Always preheat the oven to ensure even baking and a golden top.
