Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)

Base

  • 1 prepared pie crust

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil)
  • Grape juice reduction (natural) for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust into your chosen dish, then prick the bottom gently with a fork. Blind bake the crust for about 8 minutes to keep it crisp and golden.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions, minced garlic, and chopped spinach or kale until wilted and fragrant, then combine with the bacon pieces.
  3. Mix the Custard Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and plant-based milk until smooth. Stir in the natural gelling agent, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (natural) to create a silky custard base.
  4. Assemble the Quiche: Evenly layer the cooked turkey bacon and vegetable mixture over the blind-baked pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded plant-based cheese on top. Gently pour the custard mixture evenly over all the fillings.
  5. Bake Until Set and Golden: Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is beautifully golden-brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Pre-bake the crust to prevent sogginess and ensure a crispy base.
  • Use eggs at room temperature for a smoother custard.
  • Choose fresh vegetables and quality smoked turkey bacon for the best flavor.
  • Do not overfill the crust; keep the filling just below the edge to prevent overflow.
  • Let the quiche rest briefly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
