Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Oh. My. Gawd. This spinach and mushroom quiche is like a warm hug for your taste buds.
You’ll start with a flaky vegan pie crust (store-bought is totally fine, no judgment here).
For the filling, blend silken tofu with nutritional yeast, plant milk, and seasonings until smooth.
Sauté mushrooms and spinach, then fold them into the tofu mixture.
Pour it all into the crust, bake until golden, and voila!
Seriously, it’s so good, you might just shed a tear of joy.
I once served this at a brunch, and my friend’s carnivore husband asked for the recipe. Talk about a vegan victory!
Broccoli and “Cheddar” Quiche
Who says you can’t have cheese in a vegan quiche? This broccoli and “cheddar” version will make you question everything you thought you knew about plant-based cooking.
The secret? A cashew-based cheese sauce that’s so spot-on, it’ll make you do a double-take.
Blend soaked cashews with nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and spices for that cheesy flavor.
Mix in steamed broccoli florets and pour into a prepared crust.
Bake until set and slightly golden on top.
Pro tip: Add a pinch of turmeric for that classic yellow “cheesy” color. Your eyes will eat it up before your fork even gets a chance!
Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Quiche
Feeling fancy? This sun-dried tomato and basil quiche is like a trip to the Italian countryside, minus the jet lag and overpriced espresso.
Start with a tofu base, blending it with nutritional yeast and herbs.
Fold in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.
Pour into your crust and bake until it’s set and smelling like heaven.
I like to drizzle a balsamic reduction over the top for extra pizzazz. It’s so good, you’ll want to kiss your fingers like an Italian chef. Mwah!
Roasted Red Pepper and Olive Quiche
Get ready for a Mediterranean flavor explosion in your mouth! This roasted red pepper and olive quiche is like a beach vacation for your taste buds.
Blend silken tofu with nutritional yeast and Mediterranean herbs for the base.
Mix in chopped roasted red peppers and sliced Kalamata olives.
Pour into your crust and bake until golden and fragrant.
I once brought this to a potluck, and it disappeared faster than you can say “opa!” Maybe it was the quiche, or maybe it was my enthusiastic plate-smashing afterward. Who knows?
Asparagus and Leek Quiche
Feeling fancy-pants? This asparagus and leek quiche is so elegant, it practically comes with its own monocle and top hat.
Sauté sliced leeks until soft and fragrant.
Blend tofu with nutritional yeast and herbs for the base.
Fold in the leeks and blanched asparagus spears.
Arrange some asparagus tips on top for that chef’s kiss presentation.
Serve this at your next brunch, and watch your friends swoon. Just don’t tell them it’s vegan until after they’ve licked their plates clean. Sneaky? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.
Caramelized Onion and Thyme Quiche
Get ready for a flavor party in your mouth! This caramelized onion and thyme quiche is so good, it might just bring a tear to your eye (and not just from the onions).
Caramelize sliced onions low and slow until they’re sweet and golden.
Mix with a tofu base seasoned with fresh thyme and a touch of Dijon mustard.
Pour into your crust and bake until set.
The smell of this quiche baking is better than any scented candle. Who needs “fresh linen” when you can have “caramelized onion” wafting through your home?
“Bacon” and Potato Quiche
Missing that classic bacon and egg quiche? Fear not, my plant-based pals! This “bacon” and potato quiche will satisfy all your savory breakfast cravings.
Start with a tofu base, then mix in diced, roasted potatoes and crumbled tempeh “bacon” (store-bought or homemade).
Add some smoked paprika for that extra bacony flavor.
Pour into your crust and bake until golden and irresistible.
I served this to my bacon-loving brother, and he didn’t even notice it was vegan. Score one for the plants!
Artichoke and Spinach Quiche
Love spinach artichoke dip? Then this quiche is about to rock your world. It’s like your favorite appetizer grew up and got a fancy degree in quiche-ology.
Blend silken tofu with nutritional yeast and garlic for the base.
Fold in chopped artichoke hearts and wilted spinach.
Pour into your crust and bake until set.
Top with a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan for extra oomph. It’s so good, you might just want to face-plant right into the quiche. (But maybe let it cool first. Safety first, folks!)

Fall flavors, anyone? This butternut squash and sage quiche is like a cozy sweater for your taste buds.
Roast cubed butternut squash until tender and caramelized.
Blend with silken tofu, nutritional yeast, and fresh sage.
Pour into your crust and bake until golden and fragrant.
I love making this quiche when the leaves start to change. It’s like autumn in edible form. Pair it with a pumpkin spice latte for peak basic fall vibes. No shame in our game!
