Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, diced
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 cup oat milk (plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Start by gently cooking smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, sauté diced onion and fresh spinach until softened, infusing the base with flavor and moisture.
- Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together eggs, oat milk (plant-based), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent. This combination will yield a fluffy, smooth custard texture that holds the filling together beautifully.
- Combine Ingredients: Fold the sautéed vegetables and smoky turkey bacon pieces into the egg mixture. Next, gently stir in shredded plant-based cheese to disperse those creamy pockets of flavor throughout the quiche.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set, puffed up, and golden on the edges. It should gently spring back when touched.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes to ensure it slices cleanly and the texture settles to that perfect dreamy fluffiness.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother texture.
- Gently fold in filling ingredients to maintain fluffiness.
- Start checking doneness a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
- Use fresh vegetables for better moisture and flavor.
- Allow the quiche to rest before slicing for neat pieces.
