This easy vegan broccoli cheddar quiche has all the flavor of a traditional quiche without the eggs or dairy. Use a store-bought pie crust to make prep a breeze.
Tips for Making this Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
- Prebake your crust. Before adding the filling to your crust, you’ll want to pre-bake it for 10 minutes. That way, when it is finished baking after adding the filling, the crust will be nice and golden brown.
- Puree the tofu + seasonings. Use your food processor to quickly puree the firm tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric, soy milk, and seasonings together.
- Chop your broccoli well. Rather than chopping by hand, simply toss your broccoli into the food processor and pulse until it is finely chopped.
- Add in your vegan cheddar cheese. I like using Daiya shredded cheddar cheese for this quiche because it melts so well. However, you can sub for another vegan cheese if you prefer.
What to serve with this vegan quiche
