Vegetarian Artichoke and Spinach Quiche Recipe

User Rating 5 Star Rating (3 Reviews) write a review

By , About.com Guide

Vegetarian quiche is always a nice breakfast, brunch or light lunch, even if you're not vegetarian. This version of artichoke quiche uses tofu instead of eggs, making it low in fat and cholesterol, but fills up the flavor with artichokes and plenty of spinach. To keep it vegan, just omit the optional cheese.

One user gave this artichoke quiche recipe five out of five stars, and said he was able to make two full quiches out of it, so maybe have an extra quiche crust on hand, just in case!

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 containers firm tofu, pressed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, minced
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and patted dry
  • 1 6 ounce can of artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Sautee the onion and garlic in the olive oil.

Blend the tofu, soy sauce, salt, pepper and basil until smooth. Add the cheese, spinach and artichokes to the tofu mix and stir to combine.

Pour the mix into the pre-made pie crust. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until set. Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired and enjoy your artichoke and spinach quiche!

Fantastic!!!!, Guest VeganBossLady

This is just what I wanted! However, I did change the recipe. I halved the mix to make mini quiches, used store bought pizza dough (the store bought pie crust contained lard), added vegan cheese (in the mix and on top), replaced the artichoke with red and orange bell peppers, cut out the garlic and basil, and added tarragon to the mix. I have to say this is one of the best things I have ever made! I can't wait to make it again!!!
