If you’ve read my recipes before, you know our family eats vegetarian 95% of the time. But, a few weeks ago, my husband decided he’d try making my life a little harder by committing to full veganism. While I may end up joining him in his plant-based life, I’m not quite ready to give up cheese and eggs. I was scrambling for a vegan brunch recipe to bring to our family Christmas. While doing some googling, the all-knowing internet gods started pushing Just Egg advertisements all over my screen. I figured, what the heck, why not try it. Enter: my Vegan Quiche recipe.
This recipe is super customizable. I added mushrooms, but you could easily add any vegetable you like! And it 100% passes the non-vegan taste test and was given two thumbs up by my most carnivorous siblings.
Ingredients You Will Need:
- one container Just Egg
- thawed pie crust (make sure you look at the ingredients list if you’re wanting to keep this recipe vegan)
- 10 oz mushrooms, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 gloves garlic, finely chopped
- Chao plant-based cheese shreds
How to Make Vegan Quiche:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large pan, add 1-2 tbsp olive oil.
- Over medium heat, saute the onions until they are translucent. (This is roughly 5 minutes.) Then add in your mushrooms (or other vegetables) and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally add the garlic and stir to combine.
- In your pie crust, add the mushroom onion mixture to the bottom. Sprinkle some vegan cheese on top.
- Add the entire bottle of Just Egg and season the uncooked quiche with salt, pepper and parsley. Top with another sprinkling of cheese.
- Cook in the oven for 45-50 minutes. Note: You want to make sure the quiche is cooked through, so do a little jiggle test and as long as the center is firm, you’re good to go!
