Ingredients

  • 1 batch of vegan pie crust
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic sliced
  • ½ onion finely chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms finely sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 14 oz firm tofu drained
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened plant milk I used soy milk
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black salt or kala namak salt you can also add more salt instead
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet, then add the garlic and onion, and cook over medium-high heat until they start to golden brown.
  • Add the mushrooms and the cherry tomatoes and cook until golden brown.
  • Then add the spinach and cook until just wilted. 
  • Remove the skillet from the stove and set aside.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients to a food processor (tofu, nutritional yeast, plant milk, cornstarch, pepper, salt, black salt, and turmeric) and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Pour the filling into the pie crust-lined pan. I use a 9-inch or 23 cm round pie pan.
  • Spread half of the sautéed veggies evenly over the bottom of the crust. Pour the tofu mixture over the veggies and add the remaining veggies on top.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until firm and golden on top. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes to cool slightly before slicing.
  • Serve your vegan quiche warm or cold as part of a vegan brunch along with some toasted gluten-free bread and a vegan sausage.
  • Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize your vegan quiche recipe with any veggies you have on hand.
  • Use any type of oil, plant milk, or salt you want.
  • Firm or extra firm tofu work best for this vegan quiche recipe. Soft or silken tofu is not a good choice as it will fall apart easily.
  • I’ve only tried making my vegan quiche with cornstarch, but a different kind of starch would probably work.
  • Prep time doesn’t include the time you need to make the vegan pie crust.
