Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 store-bought or homemade flaky pie crust
Filling
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or cubed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup fresh spinach or 1 cup chopped bell peppers
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the crust: Roll out your pie crust and gently press it into your quiche dish or tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake partially at 350°F (175°C) until lightly golden to create a sturdy base.
- Cook the smoked turkey bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Drain excess fat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the filling mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent. Stir in chopped turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and chosen vegetables.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly browned. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to let the filling set and ensure clean cuts.
Notes
- Blind bake the crust to avoid soggy bottoms.
- Bring eggs and milk to room temperature for a smoother custard.
- Use a natural gelling agent to help the custard set with a smooth texture.
- Stir filling gently to avoid air bubbles that cause cracks.
- Cool the quiche before slicing for clean, beautiful pieces.
