This vegan mushroom quiche is packed with flavor and texture! A breakfast classic that is soy, dairy, gluten free and totally tasty!
recipe originally published December 2, 2015
I have never made a quiche before, let alone a vegan quiche.
Before vegan, I was not a big fan of eggs, they grossed me out just as meat did. I do love a good tofu scramble however - that Kala Namak brings that perfect salty sulfury flavor. I love French toast, and all kinds of other things typically made with egg.
When Follow Your Heart recently released their newest product, the VeganEgg, I had to give it a try. The VeganEgg is a seaweed based powder to be blended with water - very cold water - and then used as an egg. Not an egg replacer like we have had for years to use in baking, but an actual egg substitute - this can be scrambled.
So naturally, the first thing I did was prepare it as is, a simple scrambled egg. Pretty crazy stuff - I added more Kala Namak and in the future I'd add vegetables too, but as a simple scramble it was decent.
After that I have had some good fun creating with this, and the first thing I am sharing with you is something I have never made the traditional way - a vegan quiche. I have never made one, but I have had quiche before, and I can honestly say this. is. spot. on. Packed full of veggies and flavor, and sets up beautifully.
pass me the mimosa?

Looks delicious! I've been wanting to try tortilla de papas with it, but I was waiting to see how other's did with that type of dish. I wasn't sure how it would set. I'm glad to see that it sets beautifully!
Kelley says
I saw that they got this at Food Fight and I was intrigued. Looks great!
Greg @ Full of Beans says
Kristina, this looks wonderful and I'm happy to hear a real world review of the Vegan Egg. We have not tried it yet but have certainly tried several egg replacement and alternatives. Add this product AND this recipe to the list!

I never use pie weights... which is maybe why my pies aren't the prettiest? This is literally, yes literally 😉 screaming my name!!! Do you think it would freeze well if I made a double batch to enjoy later?
Julia says
I am loving the shiitakes in this! Such a great idea. I can see this on a breakfast table the day after Christmas!

I have never heard of Vegan egg until I read your post and when it said seaweed and I am at once intrigued and wants to try it! I love quiches and when you added shiitakes I am totally sold on this! Looks delicious and perfect for a light lunch!
Marye says
Oh I love quiche! This looks amazing!
Kacey @ The Cookie Writer says
I cannot believe there are no eggs in this!!! Eggs sometime creep me out, but so do mushrooms (even though I love them and they are my protein!) This however... I would devour this!
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
I can't believe how egg-y that looks! So impressive and the flavors sound marvelous.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Ha! Been there, done that with the pie weights. It still looks fabulous though!
