Ingredients
Scale
Egg Base
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt and pepper to taste
Filling
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped and well drained
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup shredded plant-based cheese (cheddar-style or mozzarella-style)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by chopping the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces. Sauté the onions and fresh spinach together until softened and most of the moisture has evaporated, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
- Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly frothy to achieve an airy texture.
- Combine Filling and Egg Mixture: Gently fold the cooked turkey bacon, sautéed spinach and onions, and shredded plant-based cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution without deflating the eggs.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the combined mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Use eggs at room temperature for better mixing and fluffiness.
- Avoid overmixing after adding ingredients to retain airiness.
- Drain spinach thoroughly to prevent a watery quiche.
- Allow quiche to cool slightly before slicing to hold its shape.
- Fresh herbs and quality smoked turkey bacon enhance flavor.
