This savory Spinach and Broccoli Vegan Quiche is a hearty meal for breakfast or brunch. Made with tofu for a creamy texture.
Vegan Quiche
One of my favorite breakfasts when I'm not starting my day with a green smoothie is Tofu Frittata. Instead of a vegan frittata, I thought I'd make an easy vegan quiche instead.
They are basically the same except a quiche has a crust and a custard base.
This Spinach and Broccoli Vegan Quiche is a healthy hearty meal. Besides spinach and broccoli, I added nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Miso paste and tamari add a savory umami flavor.
For the crust I used chickpea flour. It has a mild flavor so it goes well with a variety of dishes.

Tips for Making a Vegan Quiche
- There's no need to roll out the chickpea crust. Once all the ingredients are mixed, it will be a similar consistency to play dough.
- Oil your hands and press the dough into an oiled pie crust pan. Bake until the crust is golden on the edges, then add filling and bake again.
- Don't skip cooking the veggies before baking the quiche. Even though you're baking the quiche, the veggies need to be cooked ahead of time for overall taste.
- The same goes for the crust. Adding wet ingredients to a pie crust that isn't cooked just makes for a wet dough.

Lindsey says
This was delicious! Do you need to drain the tofu first?
Willow Moon says
Thanks Lindsey! Yes, you always want to drain tofu before using it.
Carrie says
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while, but I was only able to find extra firm tofu and brown miso paste at the store. Do you think the recipe would still work with these ingredients (I was thinking of reducing the quantity of miso)?
Willow Moon says
Yes, they will work. I think you have the right idea to reduce the amount of brown miso paste, since it has a stronger flavor than the white.
Kelsey says
Can I use cauliflower instead of broccoli?
Willow Moon says
I don’t see why not. It should work just fine.
Jen says
This turned out great! I did not have enough broccoli so I used some potato and it worked out fine. Rave reviews from the teen and boyfriend.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Jen, I’m so glad everyone liked it!
Dani says
I am excited to make this today! Question... what are your recommendations for storing/reheating?
Willow Moon says
I store it in the fridge in an airtight container and heat it in the microwave.
Babs says
Can the quiche be frozen?
Willow Moon says
You can freeze it but I don’t recommend it. Tofu changes texture when freezing. It will be less spongy. It does refrigerate well though.
