Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (plant-based)
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup grated plant-based cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill), chopped
  • Salt (natural), to taste
  • Black pepper (natural), to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural), for greasing

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or 1 diced jalapeño
  • Different plant-based cheese varieties (e.g., pepper jack (plant-based), smoked gouda (plant-based))
  • Grilled chicken strips (as alternative to smoked turkey bacon)
  • Caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil (natural) to prevent sticking and prepare for the next steps.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet, gently cook the smoked turkey bacon (plant-based) until it turns crisp and aromatic. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces to sprinkle into the eggs later.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in the plant-based cottage cheese and a handful of grated plant-based cheese. Season with salt and pepper (natural) to taste and add the chopped smoked turkey bacon (plant-based).
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the egg mixture into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle extra plant-based cheese and fresh herbs on top for that inviting golden crust. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked eggs to cool slightly before slicing. This rest time helps everything settle into the perfect texture. Garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t overbeat the eggs: Just whisk until combined to keep the texture fluffy and tender.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: They blend together better and bake more evenly.
  • Choose a shallow dish: This helps the eggs cook evenly without sogginess.
  • Season wisely: Taste the mixture before baking and adjust the seasoning gently.
  • Rest before serving: Let the baked cottage cheese eggs cool for a few minutes to set perfectly.
