Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Cook the Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy but not burnt, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once cooked, chop into bite-sized pieces for mixing and topping.
  3. Mix the Eggs and Cottage Cheese: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with the plant-based cottage cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt to create a creamy and flavorful base.
  4. Combine Everything: Gently fold the chopped turkey bacon and shredded plant-based cheese into the egg mixture. Add chopped fresh parsley, then pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the eggs are set and the top turns golden. The center should be firm yet moist. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Choose fresh eggs for better texture and flavor.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the eggs light and fluffy.
  • Use quality plant-based cheese to enhance the dish.
  • Check baking after 20 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the eggs.
  • Allow the dish to rest slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
