Easy Vegan Spinach Quiche Recipe

This vegan spinach and tomato breakfast quiche is such a classic and filling dish!

I’ve always loved how flavorful and delicious quiche is, and how many endless flavor combinations you can create.

Being vegan doesn’t mean you have to miss out on this dish, you just have to get a little creative!

This recipe is a super flavorful tofu-based quiche, filled with spices, spinach and some vegan cheddar to create a delicious protein-packed breakfast for your whole family.

Easy Vegan Quiche

I added a generous sprinkle of vegan cheddar cheese and spinach to this quiche, but feel free to add as much or as little as you’d like. It will have very little impact on the texture of the quiche, as long as you keep within the recipe guidelines.

Depending on the type of cheese you use, you may want to add less salt – some cheese brands are a lot saltier than others so keep that in mind before adding your salt!

Spinach and Tomato Quiche with Homemade Crust

You could dice the tomatoes and sprinkle them into the quiche, but I just love how the sliced tomatoes look on top! They also get a nice flavor from being baked this way.

The filling is super delicious, but what really makes this recipe special is the combination with the homemade pie crust.

Pie crust is actually very easy to make and only requires four ingredients; the trick is all in the technique and adding as little moisture as possible while still being able to work with the dough.

Another trick to creating an irresistible quiche is to add some freshly cracked black pepper to the top right after it comes out of the oven. It adds so much flavor and makes it look great too!

How to Make Vegan Quiche

Making the Crust from Scratch

To make your deliciously flaky crust, start by mixing together the flour and salt in a bowl.

To this, add in the chilled vegan butter cubes and cut it into the flour with a pastry cutter (you can use a couple forks, but it’s a bit more difficult this way – I would almost say just to use your hands to incorporate it if you don’t have one, but you will lose some flakiness with the warmth, so I highly recommend the pastry cutter overall!).

Once it has a crumbly texture you can start to add cold water a tablespoon at a time (no more than 2-3) until the dough sticks together when you squish it with your fingers.

Then, gently pat it down until it’s about an inch thick circle, and let it chill, wrapped, in the fridge for an hour.

Once done, flour a flat surface, unwrap the dough and place it down. Add another sprinkle on top and to a rolling pin and roll out until 1/4 inch thick. If it cracks too much it may be easier to squish it down into an oiled pie or tart pan.

Otherwise, after rolling out, fold it in half and place over the oiled pie or tart pan and unfold it to cover the entire thing. Push it down evenly around the pan and poke some holes in the bottom with a fork, then bake for 20 minutes.

Making the Eggless Quiche Filling

To make the quiche filling, add the tofu (no need to press), plant milk and spices to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, then pulse in the spinach but do not blend it in. Finally, stir in the vegan shredded cheddar.

Pour into your slightly cooled pie crust and spread out evenly, then top with sliced tomatoes.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until it begins to become golden brown!
