Spinach vegan quiche

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Side Dishes
The soul of a quiche is the egg-cream custard (royal), which sets to a wobble when baked. In the vegan version, this texture is achieved with a combination of silken tofu and starch. Using 'black salt' (Kala Namak) with its sulphurous scent tricks our senses, providing an eggy experience.

Instructions

1 ✓

For pastry, crumble flour with cold margarine and salt using quick movements. Add just enough ice water to bind.

Tip: Don't overwork! If margarine melts from hand warmth, pastry will be tough, not crumbly. Cold fat steam puffs pastry into layers.
2 ✓

Wrap in foil, refrigerate 30 minutes. Meanwhile wilt spinach in oil with crushed garlic, then squeeze out water.

Tip: Spinach water content would soak pastry, hence squeezing.
3 ✓

Blend tofu, cream, nutritional yeast, and spices until creamy.

Tip: If you have 'black salt' (Kala Namak) at home, use instead of plain salt for eggy taste.
4 ✓

Roll out pastry, line tin. Prick with fork, blind bake at 180°C for 10 minutes.

Tip: Blind baking prevents filling soaking bottom (soggy bottom).
5 ✓

Mix spinach into cream, pour onto pastry, bake further 30-35 minutes until top is golden.

Tip: Wait until cool to lukewarm, by then structure sets sliceable.

Recipe FAQ

The filling didn't set.
Spinach was too wet or too little starch/tofu. Always squeeze spinach after wilting! Let quiche cool completely before slicing so structure sets.
