Silken tofu blended with nutritional yeast, turmeric, and cashew milk wonderfully mimics the texture of chicken eggs in this veggie-loaded vegan quiche. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas.

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Move a rack to the lowest position in the oven.
2
|
Prick the bottom of the frozen pie shell several times with a fork, and transfer to a baking sheet. If using a refrigerated crust, arrange it in a 9-inch pie pan, then prick the bottom with a fork.
3
|
Bake the pie shell on bottom rack of oven until the bottom is slightly puffed, 12-14 minutes, or according to package directions. When done, remove from oven and set aside.
4
|
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
5
|
Slice the mushrooms, finely dice the red pepper, and roughly chop the spinach.
6
|
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the red pepper and mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes, then add the spinach. Season lightly with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the spinach is fully wilted and the mushrooms are browned, 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
7
|
Place the tofu, cashew milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
8
|
Add the spinach, mushrooms, and peppers to the tofu mixture. Fold with a rubber spatula until the vegetables are evenly distributed.
9
|
Pour the tofu mixture into the pie shell. Cover the edges of the pie shell with pie guards or strips of aluminum foil to avoid burning or over-browning the crust.
10
|
Bake the quiche on bottom rack of oven until the top is firm and golden brown, 55-65 minutes.
11
|
Check to see that quiche is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
12
|
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before slicing and serving. Leftover quiche may be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Tofu Texture Mastery 🥚
    Drain and press firm tofu thoroughly before blending to ensure a smooth, egg-like consistency and prevent excess moisture in the quiche.
  • Nutritional Yeast Magic 🧀
    Toast nutritional yeast briefly in a dry pan before adding to the recipe to enhance its nutty, cheesy flavor profile and depth.
  • Vegetable Prep Pro 🥬
    Sauté mushrooms and bell peppers before adding to the quiche to remove excess moisture and concentrate their flavors.
  • Blind Baking Brilliance 🥧
    Par-bake the frozen pie shell for 10 minutes before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom and ensure a crisp crust.
  • Turmeric Tint Technique 🌈
    Add turmeric gradually and mix well to achieve a uniform golden color that mimics traditional egg-based quiche without overpowering the other flavors.
