Vegan Tofu Crustless Quiche Recipe

 

Web Hosting

My vibrant mother brought this egg-free, gluten-free, oil-free, whole foods, vegan tofu crustless quiche to our lake house for a family vegan dinner.

I bet you have heard of making a tofu scramble, but have you graduated to the next level, and made a dairy-free, tofu, vegan eggless baked dish yet?

Try this quiche for a new vegan food!  I like it for dinner but it could be a quiche for vegan breakfast casserole, or a vegan brunch idea.

The recipe has instructions for both gluten free flours and wheat flour, take a look!

The texture is very much like regular classic quiche, even though it is eggless and dairy-free.

Firm tofu, and GF or wheat flour, give the quiche structure, so that it holds together very well.

The firm tofu provides enough stability and the edges brown nicely in the oven, so you still get a feeling that there is a crust.

Seasonings and diced vegetables give it flavour, so that it is delicious to eat. The colors of the veggies inside make it beautiful to serve.

No crust means easy and fast

  • stir all the ingredients in a bowl or food processor,
  • plop it into a corning ware type casserole dish,
  • bake it,

and voila!

This ‘vegan eggs’ quiche goes great with asparagus.

My mom placed sliced red peppers on the quiche in the oval casserole dish, and it looked beautiful.  Unfortunately we all sat down and ate it so quickly, I forgot to take a picture.  There was only this single piece left.

Perhaps she will make it for us again one day soon.

Is egg quiche healthy?

Traditional egg quiche – no, but vegan quiche – yes!

Here are some reasons why traditional egg quiche is not healthy:

Prostate Cancer Risk and Eggs

Did you know?

Harvard researchers took more than a thousand men with early stage prostate cancer and followed them for a couple years to see if there was anything in their diet associated with a resurgence of the cancer, such as spread to the bone.

Compared to men who hardly ate any eggs, men who ate even less than a single egg a day had a significant 2-fold increased risk of prostate cancer progression.

Men who ate eggs had worsening of their prostate cancer vs. men who didn’t.

The Harvard paper suggests that the choline in eggs may increase inflammation, inflammation triggers cancer.

Colorectal and Bladder Cancer Risk from Eggs

If you are female, you aren’t safe eating eggs either.

The most convincing evidence points to egg consumption as increasing risk for colorectal cancer and bladder cancer.

People consuming approximately 1.5 eggs per week had nearly 5 times the colorectal cancer risk.

Moderate egg consumption also tripled the risk of developing bladder cancer.

Consuming eggs can also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by 19%, colon cancer nearly 5 times, diabetes by 68%, Lethal prostate cancer by 81%. For more information visit PCRM.org

Reasons to love this egg-free recipe for both sexes.

Even Better as Leftovers

This quiche, like many tofu recipes, tastes even better as leftovers because the flavours have had more time to blend throughout and it becomes more firm over time.

Thanks mom!

I hope you let us know, in the comments at the bottom,  whether you plan to, or enjoyed, this easy vegan egg free version of a classic quiche dish.

Real Vegans eat quiche!  This quiche comes together so easily with a food processor or even if you don't have one, with a fork and some chopping.  It smells wonderful as it is baking and is impressive when serving.
