Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Protein

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen spinach (thoroughly drained)
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion

Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (plant-based)
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

For Baking

  • Oil or plant-based non-stick spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables and Bacon: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and spinach until the onion is translucent and the spinach is wilted and aromatic.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the plant-based cottage cheese, eggs, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent. Stir thoroughly to blend. Fold in the cooked spinach, onions, and crumbled turkey bacon evenly.
  3. Bake the Quiche: Lightly grease a baking dish with oil or plant-based non-stick spray. Pour the filling into the dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is firm, confirmed by inserting a toothpick that comes out clean. Let cool slightly before cutting to preserve shape.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the quiche into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped herbs or a dollop of plant-based sour cream for extra creaminess.

Notes

  • Drain spinach thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother filling.
  • Adjust seasoning by tasting the filling before baking.
  • If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out moisture.
  • Allow the quiche to cool before slicing to keep slices neat.
