This egg-free vegan broccoli quiche will work wonders for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The use of tofu makes it a low-fat, low-cholesterol and dairy-free alternative regardless if you have for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I use carrots and onion in addition to the broccoli in this recipe, but feel free to use the vegetables of your choice.

You need a food processor to make this recipe, and if you don’t have one, I highly recommend you getting one. It is one of the tools I use the most when I’m cooking.

How to make vegan broccoli quiche

Start out with making the crust. The procedure for this is pretty straightforward. Combine the non-dairy butter with salt and flour and mix it with your hands until you have a dry, sandy and gritty mass. Add the water and form the dough into the shape of a ball.

Put the dough ball in a plastic bag and let sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, this will make it easier to flatten the dough in the oven form later on.

When the dough for the pie crust is sitting in the fridge you can start chopping your vegetables. When you’re finished you add them all to a skillet greased with some olive oil and fry them all with some salt and pepper for about 10 minutes to soften them a bit.

Now depending on how “hard” you want your crust you can pre-cook it here a bit. I like mine real flaky. Pre-heat the oven to 425 F / 225 C / Gas Mark 7. Take the dough ball out of the fridge and place it centre in your oven safe form. Now, use your hands to evenly distribute the dough across the form. Don’t forget to cover the sides of the form as well.

Next up you’re going to prepare the tofu mixture. Bring out the food processor and add tofu, turmeric, nutmeg, thyme, salt and soy milk until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie crust coated oven form and then distribute the vegetables as evenly as you can. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted in the very middle of the quiche.

Let the vegan broccoli quiche cool off a little bit before serving it, allowing the tofu mixture to settle. Serve with a side salad, and as always, enjoy!
