Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach and Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions become translucent and the mixture is fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and sauté just until wilted, allowing excess moisture to evaporate. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based cottage cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent until smooth. Gently fold in the sautéed spinach, onion, and garlic mixture.
  3. Bake Your Quiche: Pour the mixture into a well-greased baking dish. Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly to set firmly before slicing. Serve warm or cold, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach rather than frozen for a brighter color and sweeter taste.
  • Drain excess liquid from the sautéed spinach to prevent a soggy quiche.
  • Use just enough natural gelling agent to achieve a perfect texture without dryness.
  • Maintain a steady oven temperature of 350°F (175°C) for even baking and a golden top.
  • The quiche can be made ahead; flavors improve after resting overnight.
