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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
