Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 250g plant-based cottage cheese
  • 4 eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 100g plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach and Aromatics: Gently sauté the fresh spinach, chopped onions, and minced garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat until the spinach wilts and the onions become translucent. This softens the greens and enhances their flavor while mellowing the garlic’s sharpness.
  2. Mix the Quiche Base: In a large bowl, combine the plant-based cottage cheese, beaten eggs, shredded plant-based cheese, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Combine and Pour: Fold the sautéed spinach mixture into the cottage cheese blend carefully, ensuring even distribution of greens. Pour the combined batter into a lightly greased baking dish and spread it evenly for consistent cooking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the quiche for 40-45 minutes until it is set, the top is lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Drain the spinach thoroughly to prevent a soggy quiche.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better blending and smoother texture.
  • Do not overbake to maintain creamy consistency; quiche firms slightly as it cools.
  • Grease the baking dish well to avoid sticking and ease serving.
  • Season gradually and taste the mixture before baking to adjust salt and spices.
