What is a Vegan Quiche? 

A flaky vegan pie crust layered with savory vegetables and JUST Egg, smothered with vegan cheese, infused with herbs and spices, and served with Western home fries and fresh fruit. This VEGAN QUICHE is the definition of sophistication. It’s simple and one of the best vegan breakfast recipes too!

It’s the most fantastic vegan quiche recipe you will ever try. Using JUST Egg makes it a healthy choice, but it is delicious and fool your guests into thinking it is not vegan. This JUSTEGG QUICHE is a vegan version of the classic quiche using a vegan egg substitute.

What is Just Egg?

JUST Egg is a yellow yolk-less egg made from mung beans that can be used in any recipe as a substitute for dairy eggs. Just Egg is the easiest and most convenient way to enjoy the taste of a fresh, wholesome scrambled egg. Just open, pour, and cook. It’s that easy! Just Egg is unlike any vegan egg substitute you’ve ever tried.

Just Egg allows you to enjoy the taste and experience of an authentic scrambled egg without a dairy egg’s cholesterol, saturated fat, and cruelty. Instead, it’s made with a proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients that perfectly mimic the taste. 

Just Egg is cholesterol-free, dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, and freezable. Consumers describe the taste and experience of Just Egg as “light and fluffy,” “tastes like real eggs,” and “just like the real thing!”

What to serve with Vegan Quiche?

Green Salad – A green salad is one of the best things to serve with vegan quiche. A simple green salad with a vegan dressing complements the quiche’s texture and taste, especially when accompanied by some yummy crusty bread.

Potato Salad – If you are doing a pot-luck or have a huge crowd to feed, pairing potato salad with this quiche is an excellent idea. Both are light, easy, and not to mention filling.

Asparagus – If you are looking for veggie accompaniment, there is nothing better than asparagus, which is usually available year-round and is super easy to prepare.

Can this vegan quiche be made gluten-free?

If you like this vegan quiche to be gluten-free, you have 2 options:

  1. You can use a store-bought gluten-free pie crust or make your own. For a homemade crust, you can use gluten-free flour, such as sorghum flour, or purchase a pre-made gluten-free pie crust.
  2. Secondly, you have the option of making a crust-less quiche by mixing the ingredients and baking them together.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes! It can be fully baked and refrigerated. Just remember to cool off your quiche after baking completely. Keep it covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to prevent it from drying. Then, reheat it for 15-20 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees F before you serve it.

Can you freeze it?

The best way to freeze any quiche is to wrap it up very well in plastic or aluminum foil or place it in an airtight storage container for up to 2 months. You need to thaw a frozen quiche in the refrigerator overnight before the day you plan to eat it. Bake the thawed quiche at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s warmed.
