Vegan Vegetable Quiche Recipes

VEGAN VEGETABLE QUICHE

Steps:

• For the Gluten Free Pie Crust: Please follow the instructions for this recipe, or use a pre-made store bought pie crust. (The recipe does not call for this, but I chilled the ball of dough in saran wrap in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling it out. Then I baked the homemade pie crust in a pre-oiled pie dish for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F, before adding in the vegan quiche and baking again.)
• For the Vegetable Mixture: Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, tomatoes and a pinch of salt, and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes or until veggies are soft/slightly charred, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and set aside to cool for a moment.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the Tofu Mixture: Place all ingredients for the tofu mixture in the food processor bowl (only add the almond milk as needed, to help it blend more smoothly but don't overdo it on the liquid). Blend until smooth and well combined. You may need to stop in between to scrape down the sides. Taste test and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
• Now we need to mix the vegetables and tofu together before adding it into the pie crust. You can save on dishes by adding the tofu mixture into the pan with the vegetables to mix. Or, you can use a large bowl to mix the two together. Next, transfer the tofu and veggie mixture to the pie crust and spread it out evenly. Top with tomato slices.
• Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
• Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

GARDEN VEGETABLE VEGAN QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, and salt. Add the butter and, using your hands, work it into the flour until only pea-sized pieces remain. Continue working with your hands until the dough has a shaggy texture.
• Add the water, starting with 3 tablespoons, and mix until the dough is moist enough to hold together. Add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to brown lightly. Reduce the heat to medium and add the leeks, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the leeks have softened slightly. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute, until slightly softened. Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until just wilted. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the dough, turning it frequently so it doesn't stick, to a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.
• Gently transfer the crust to a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the edges. Fold the edges of dough back underneath itself, then crimp using an index finger knuckle on one hand and the thumb and index finger on the other hand.
• Crumple a piece of parchment paper, then spread it out in the center of the crust. Add the dried beans to the center and spread toward the sides of the crust--this will add weight to keep the crust from puffing up and hold up the walls while baking.
• Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the weights by lifting out the parchment paper, then bake for 5 minutes more, until the dough no longer looks raw.
• Carefully pour the silken tofu into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the excess water to drain.
• Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, remaining ½ teaspoon pepper, black salt, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne to a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Spread half the sautéed vegetables evenly over the bottom of the crust. Pour the tofu puree over the vegetables, then add the remaining vegetables on top..
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the center no longer jiggles and the crust is just beginning to brown.
• Let the quiche cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
• Enjoy!
