Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 100g smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 8–10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp olive oil (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a small ovenproof dish or individual ramekins with olive oil (natural) to prevent sticking and add a subtle flavor.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables and Turkey Bacon: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil (natural) in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped smoked turkey bacon and cook until crisp. Then, add fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Stir gently until the spinach wilts and tomatoes soften slightly.
  3. Mix Eggs and Plant-Based Cottage Cheese: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based cottage cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is creamy and well combined for even baking.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Spread the cooked turkey bacon and sautéed vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the top. Gently shake the dish to level the ingredients. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the eggs are set and golden around the edges.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes to allow flavors to settle. Slice, garnish if desired, and serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature eggs to ensure smooth blending and even baking.
  • Do not overmix the egg mixture to maintain a fluffy texture.
  • Choose fresh spinach for vibrant color and slight crispness after baking.
  • Pre-cook turkey bacon thoroughly to retain crispiness.
  • Consider using individual ramekins for portion control and an appealing presentation.
