Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 fresh eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and sauté in a pan until crisp, then set aside. In a bowl, beat the fresh eggs, then gently fold in the plant-based cottage cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), freshly chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Assemble the Dish: Pour half of the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cooked turkey bacon over the mixture, then add a layer of shredded plant-based cheese. Pour the remaining egg mixture evenly over everything. Finally, top with the remaining bacon and a generous sprinkle of plant-based cheese for a golden crust.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for a fluffier and more tender baked egg dish.
  • Gently fold ingredients to maintain a light texture and avoid overmixing.
  • Pre-cook the turkey bacon to keep it crisp and prevent moisture from affecting the eggs.
  • Allow the baked eggs to rest before serving to make slicing easier and cleaner.
  • Try different plant-based cheeses to discover your favorite melting and flavor combinations.
