Introducing a new vegan brunch favorite, the Asparagus Tofu Quiche. A vegan twist on a French classic. Avocado toast is satisfying and easy to make but if you’re like me and often crave a warm and comforting morning meal this quiche will become you’re new go to. Similar to avocado toast this quiche is totally customizable. Use whatever veggies you like to eat for breakfast. This quiche stores very well covered in the fridge. If you are short for time in the morning make extra quiche on the weekend and reheat during the week for a gourmet tasting meal at the start of your day.

What Is A Quiche?

Traditional quiche is a French tart made of a pastry crust filled with custard, cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables. My recipe cuts out the animal byproducts and is hearty, full of plant protein and immune-boosting garlic for taste. You can either use a pre-made vegetable puffed pastry like I did, or make one on your own if you’re feeling up to it. This recipe includes asparagus but if you have other vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes or peppers, feel free to substitute. I like to look at this dish is like an omelette. Anything you would add into an omelette, you can add into a quiche.

What About The Egg?

Speaking of omelettes, instead of using egg for your quiche, you’re going to use tofu. It replicates the texture of eggs and to give the same colour, we’re going to add turmeric and Kala Namak, which is also known as black salt but it isn’t really black. It mimics the taste and smells of eggs! You can find Kala Namak on Amazon here.

Can I Substitute The Tofu?

If for any reason you don’t want to use tofu in the recipe you can substitute the tofu with my Vegan Egg Mix which is mung bean based. It does require pre-soaking the mung beans so prepare accordingly.
