Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

4 slices smoked turkey bacon
1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
4 large eggs
1 cup plant-based milk or cream
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes)
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or chives)

Pie Crust

1 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch dish, gently pressing to fit. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help it hold its shape during baking. Blind bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes to keep it crispy once the filling is added.
Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the crust chills, sauté the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain excess fat and roughly chop the bacon for even distribution in the quiche.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk with the plant-based milk or cream. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Fold in the cooked turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and chopped vegetables.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the custard mixture into the partially baked crust. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Pre-cook fillings to remove excess moisture for a firm quiche.
Use room temperature ingredients for smooth custard blending.
Do not overfill the crust to avoid spills during baking.
Allow quiche to rest after baking to set properly for easier slicing.
Use a fork to poke holes in the crust before blind baking to prevent bubbling.
