Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 fresh eggs
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, cubed

Caramelized Onions

  • 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)

Smoked Turkey Bacon

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural) for frying

Seasoning & Garnishes

  • Additional fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, chives) for garnish
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil (natural), for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Slice the sweet onions thinly. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (natural) in a skillet over low heat. Add the onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes until they become a deep golden brown with a soft, sweet texture.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural) over medium heat. Fry the smoked turkey bacon slices until crisp yet tender. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop roughly for mixing.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk the fresh eggs thoroughly with sea salt, cracked black pepper, chopped fresh herbs, and the natural gelling agent to create a light and airy base. Stir in the cubed plant-based cheese evenly.
  4. Combine and Cook: Fold the caramelized onions and chopped turkey bacon gently into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into a well-oiled, oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Cook over medium heat on the stovetop until the edges start to set.
  5. Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the frittata is fully cooked and golden on top. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Take your time caramelizing the onions slowly for maximum sweetness and flavor depth.
  • Beat eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for the fluffiest texture.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet for an easy transition from stovetop to oven and less cleanup.
  • Allow the frittata to rest briefly before cutting to keep slices intact and maintain texture.
  • Adjust seasoning just before baking to avoid over-salting the dish.
