Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 3/4 cup plant-based cheese, grated or crumbled
Protein
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces, wash and roughly chop the spinach, dice the red bell pepper and onion. Grate or crumble the plant-based cheese so it melts evenly throughout the quiche.
- Cook the Bacon and Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until slightly crispy. Remove and set aside. In the remaining fat, sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft and fragrant. Add the spinach last, allowing it to wilt quickly. Combining the vegetables and bacon now ensures a deep, savory base.
- Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk of choice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent until well combined. This mixture will form the light, airy custard that binds the filling together perfectly.
- Combine and Pour Into Baking Dish: Fold the cooked bacon and vegetable mixture into the egg mixture, then gently stir in the grated plant-based cheese. Pour everything into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins, spreading the filling evenly for consistent cooking.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the quiche for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the edges turn golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to enhance the texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier texture.
- Do not overbake to keep the quiche moist and tender.
- Gently incorporate milk or plant-based alternatives to maintain silkiness without weighing down the custard.
- Customize with fresh, crisp vegetables to add texture and vibrancy.
- Allow the quiche to rest after baking for firmer, cleaner slices.
