I haven’t had a quiche, or an omelet, or anything remotely like that since I became vegan. I don’t miss any of those old foods – if occasionally I eat something with egg or dairy in it at work, it can make me feel a little queasy. But I do get a bit stuck in a rut sometimes, making a lot of salads or the same old quinoa and veggies. Sometimes, I just want something a bit more traditional, rustic, or that takes a little more time and effort. Cue the good ol’ vegan quiche. This is nothing like a quiche Lorraine, make no mistake. It has the same form as a quiche, but the taste won’t be the same that you are/were used to. It does, however, satisfy you the same way a traditional quiche would: it’s a hearty meal that will warm you to your core and turn you mellow as a marshmallow. Sit back in your plump sofa with a plateful of this flavor-packed meal, and enjoy every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 can of butter beans (400g)
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 50 g peas
  • 2 - 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • approx. half a sheet of roll-out puff pastry (or for a thicker crust, fold the whole sheet double)

  • 1 - 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • a few sunflower seeds to garnish

Preparation

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/356ºF. Cover the bottom and sides of a medium-sized round pie dish with the puff pastry sheet, pressing it down with your fingers.
  2. In a blender or food processor, puree the butter beans with a little bit of vegetable oil until smooth. Add the nooch, garlic and turmeric powder and blend some more. Chop up your vegetables and add this to the mixture before pouring it into the pie dish.
  3. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Top with some sunflower seeds before serving.

After turning vegan, I discovered a particular talent for baking delicious cruelty-free cakes and cookies. It was then that my friends named me ‘The Vegan Cookie Fairy,’ and my blog was born. I find happiness in preparing and eating food that is good for my body and soul.
