Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Seasonings and Extras

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Olive oil, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and sauté gently in a pan until slightly crisp. While the bacon cooks, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese (plant-based), plant-based cheese, chopped spinach, onion powder, garlic powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. Combine and Pour: Fold the sautéed smoked turkey bacon and natural gelling agent into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly mixed. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure all ingredients mingle well.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and golden on top. Check occasionally to avoid over-baking, aiming for a soft but firm texture that holds together without drying out.
  4. Rest and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the flavors meld and makes slicing into portions easier without crumbling.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even cooking and to prevent cracking.
  • Gently fold ingredients to keep a light and fluffy texture; avoid overmixing.
  • Choose high-quality smoked turkey bacon for enhanced flavor depth.
  • If adding dense vegetables, sauté them beforehand to reduce moisture.
  • Let the baked dish rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and better presentation.
