Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Dairy
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup plant-based milk
Vegetables and Starches
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into bite-sized chunks
- 1 medium onion, diced
Flavorings and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small pieces and dice the onions and potatoes into bite-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and balanced flavor in each bite.
- Cook the Bacon and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. Using the same skillet, sauté the diced onions until translucent and fragrant, absorbing any smoky flavors left by the bacon.
- Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the natural gelling agent to help the casserole set as it bakes.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked bacon and onions to the egg mixture. Gently fold in the diced potatoes and plant-based cheese, making sure not to mash the ingredients but to incorporate them evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish and spread it evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Notes
- Choose Yukon Gold potatoes because they hold their shape well while softening nicely during baking.
- Fold ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the casserole mushy.
- Bake uncovered for a crispy top, or cover halfway through baking if you prefer a softer crust.
- Use fresh eggs for the best binding and texture.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and make slicing easier.
