My husband is an omnivore and prefers to eat the non-vegan version of many of our meals. This meal is the exception! He looks forward to it every single time. Just a quick sauté of some vegetables and the ingredients are ready to be thrown in the pie crust to cook! If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to egg-based quiche, I’m not sure this is it. But if you’re looking for a egg and dairy free quiche to impress everyone, you’re in the right place.
Egg-free + dairy-free, this plant-based egg, cheese, + sausage quiche is perfect for new vegans to witness the potential that vegan products have!
- It features vegan egg, cheese, + meat (sausage)!
- But…no experience cooking with plant-based products necessary!
- It doesn’t sacrifice flavor for nutrition, thus a perfect ‘transition’ meal for new vegans!
- It is easily customizable – add mozzarella and basil, or spicy chorizo and peppers!
- It can be made for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (my fav)!
- Only 15 minutes of ‘active’ prep + cooking before it goes in the oven!
We love to serve this with a side of air-fried home fries, ketchup, and sriracha. For brunch serve with fruit salad or orange juice!
Easy Egg-free Dairy-free Quiche with Just Egg Scramble
Ingredients
- pre-made pie crust, frozen or thawed
- 1 bottle of Just Egg liquid
- 1/2 tsp kala namak (Himalayan black salt)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 TB bell pepper, chopped
- 1 Roma-size tomato, chopped
- 1/3 cup vegan cheese, shredded, any flavor
- 1 Field Roast Apple Sage sausage, or 3 Field Roast breakfast sausages, crumbled or diced
Directions
- Parbake the crust: preheat oven to 400F. Cover pie crust with parchment paper/foil and fill with baking beans* to keep crust from rising. Bake for 12 minutes, reduce heat to 325F and cook for 8 extra minutes after removing the beans and paper/foil and pricking holes in the bottom of the crust.
- Sauté the onion and bell pepper in a pan. Add the sausage if you want it to be browned.
- After removing the crust from the oven, sprinkle the cheese on the bottom of the pie crust.
- Add the sautéed vegetables, half the chopped tomato, and crumbled sausage. Sprinkle half the kala namak over.
- Evenly pour the Just Egg into the crust and sprinkle the rest of the kala namak and tomatoes on top.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until center is set! Use a toothpick to make sure the center is not too runny.
- Let cool for 10 minutes and cut into 6 slices.
