Considering a traditional Quiche is made with Eggs andlots of Cream, I think it’s pretty darn amazing that this Vegan version still has a pretty similar texture and taste. And since it’salsosoy free,gluten free,andgrain free, dare I say it’s almost magical?

Easy Vegan Quiche Recipe (Gluten + Soy Free) | From My Bowl (3)

I first created these a few months ago, but knew I wanted to do something more with them. Quiches are very nostalgic for me; I made them a lot with my Grandma and Aunt while on family vacation. So a Crustless Quiche was nice and all, but let’s be honest – it’s notreally a Quiche. After I developed the recipe for my Easy 3 Ingredient Pie Crust, I knew I had to give a classic Quiche a try too!

This Vegan Quiche requires very minimal ingredients, is easy to customize, and lasts for up to a week in the fridge. Is there anything else you could really ask for? I can say that I’mvery happy with this version, and hope you will be too.

A Few Final Thoughts:

  • I used Caramelized Onions, Tomatoes, and Fresh Dill in this recipe, but you can really use anything you want. Fresh Vegetables, different Herbs, and maybe even some Vegan Cheese/Meat Substitute? Heck. Yes.
  • You can use anypre-baked Pie Crust that you’d like for this recipe, but I’m partial to my 3 ingredient one because it’s both incredibly easy to make and healthy. Or, you can skip it all together.
  • This Vegan Quiche will last well for up to 1 week in the fridge, but I would not recommend freezing it. Freezing affects the final texture of the Quiche once it re-thaws and it is not as realistic.

  • Author: Caitlin Shoemaker
  • Prep Time: 20 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 Minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8-12 Servings 1x
  • Category: Entree
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pre-baked* 3 Ingredient Pie Crust
  • 1 cup Garbanzo Bean / Chickpea Flour
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Salt, plus more to taste (see notes)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk
  • 2 large Tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup Caramelized Onions (about 1 large; see this recipe for a tutorial)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Dill

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Pre-bake your Pie Crust and caramelize your Onions, if you haven’t already.
  • In a large bowl, add the Chickpea Flour, Nutritional Yeast, Turmeric, Salt, and Baking Powder. Mix well.
  • Pour in the Plant Milk, and mix until a thick batter forms. Add the Caramelized Onions and Fresh Dill, then fold into the batter evenly.
  • Place half of the Tomato slices on the bottom of the Pie Crust, then pour the Batter over top. Smooth the Quiche Batter out evenly with a spatula, then top with remaining Tomato slices
  • Cover the edges of the Pie Crust so they do not burn, then bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve as desired.

Notes

  • The Pie Crust should bepre-baked for this recipe, as well as most recipes where the filling is a liquid. This prevents the Crust from getting soggy/mushy once the liquid is added to it (and before it has the chance to solidify in the oven).
  • If you would like to make this Quiche taste more “eggy,” substitute the Kosher Salt for Kala Namak, or Black Salt.

Why are eggs important in quiche? ›

In creme caramel and quiche, egg proteins unwind, then bond to form a mesh that traps milk or cream in a soft gel. And in a stirred custard or creme anglaise, eggs thicken just as effectively, but at lower temperatures than flour or cornstarch. Lecithin and the other emulsifiers in egg yolks come in handy too.
