Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Turkey Bacon and Vegetables: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon and lightly sauté it in a pan over medium heat until crispy and golden. Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add diced onions and spinach and cook gently until tender and just wilted, preserving the fresh green color.
- Beat the Egg Mixture: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk vigorously until light and frothy. While whisking, add apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking to combine and aerate the mixture thoroughly for a fluffy texture.
- Assemble the Quiche Base: Gently fold the sautéed turkey bacon, spinach, onions, and plant-based cheese into the egg mixture. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and fold carefully to integrate without deflating the mixture.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish or individual ramekins. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs for easier whisking and better fluffiness.
- Do not overfill the baking dish to allow for expansion during baking.
- Choose flavorful plant-based cheese for a rich and creamy texture.
- Allow the quiche to rest for at least 10 minutes after baking to set properly.
- Whisk the eggs well to incorporate as much air as possible for optimal fluffiness.
