1. What is quiche?

Quiche is a classic French dish consisting of beaten eggs, milk, and various toppings baked in a buttery pie crust. The beauty of quiche is it can be transformed into a variety of flavors – potato leek, broccoli cheddar, spinach and mushroom, the possibilities are endless! In this variation, we kept the heart of traditional French quiche while carefully substituting the non-vegan eggs and milk for a blend of high protein and silken tofu. The key flavor comes from the black salt (kala namak) which oddly tastes just like eggs!

2. Can I make this quiche ahead of time for meal prep?

Absolutely! I recommend storing this quiche in the fridge and consuming within 5 days.

3. Can I make this quiche crustless?

Yes! To make this quiche crustless, simply bake it in a 9-inch round pan.

High Protein Breakfast:

While this vegan quiche is delicious, it’s also good for you! Here are some of the key health benefits of this quiche:

• High Protein. Greens are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, K, and folate, as well as minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients are vital for overall health and support various bodily functions, including immune function, bone health, and energy metabolism.
• Lower Calorie. Traditional quiche uses heavy cream and cheese which are quite high in calories. There’s nothing wrong with eating foods higher in calories, but overeating can lead to numerous health issues. This quiche gets it’s creamy texture from tofu which is both high in protein and lower in calories.
• Nutrient Rich. Tofu is a good source of several essential nutrients, including iron, calcium, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and copper. These nutrients play vital roles in various bodily functions, such as bone health, immune function, and metabolism.
• Aids in Digestion. Tofu is a good source of dietary fiber, which promotes digestive health by supporting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. Additionally, the probiotics formed during the fermentation process in some tofu varieties can contribute to gut health.
