Quiche Lorraine is not only a great song by the B-52s, but it’s also a favorite dish from France. A quiche is a baked savory custard-type pie made with cream, eggs, cheese, and other ingredients, such as meat and vegetables. So who is Lorraine and why did they name a quiche after her? Actually, quiche Lorraine is named for the Lorraine region of France and this type of quiche is traditionally made with lardons, or strips of pork.

With cream, eggs, cheese, and pork, quiche sounds like it would be tough to make using plant-based ingredients, but guess what? We can do it! Quiches are perfect for brunches, baby and bridal showers, and other get-togethers. They have an elegant presentation, but they are really easy to make.

You can choose between making quiche with tofu, chickpea flour, or grains, like quinoa. You can get creative and add whatever ingredients you like including vegetables, vegan cheese, nuts, and your favorite herbs and spices. Make a big quiche or make these Spinach, Tomato, and Cheddar Mini-Quiches With Lemon Cashew Cream, so everyone gets their own.
