Best Vegan Quiche Casserole

I love quiche because it’s creamy, delicious, and perfect for any meal–breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even holiday brunch. This Vegan Quiche Casserole is packed with flavor and will be a huge hit no matter when you serve it.

This vegan quiche recipe is quite simple so, even if you’ve never attempted to make quiche before, I’m confident that you’ve got this!

You’re going to love this vegan quiche casserole because it’s…

• Great make-ahead casserole
• Creamy & warm
• Loaded with veggies
• Wholesome
• Satisfying
• Savory
• Cheesy
• Easy to make
• Customizable
• Oh, SO delicious!

One of my favorite things about making this crustless quiche is that it’s so customizable. In this recipe, I include flavorful veggies like mushrooms, red bell pepper, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, and spinach, but you can mix and match any combination of vegetables you like.

How to make veggie quiche

First, you will need to drain and press the water from the tofu, and there are a couple of different options for doing this. Using a tofu press is pretty simple and made specifically for this job.

However, if you don’t have a press, you can accomplish the same thing by using a few household items you already have on hand. Simply place the tofu between paper towels or dishcloths and apply pressure using a heavy bowl or pan. Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes for the excess water to be removed. Pictured below.

The recipe card at the bottom of the page has the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions.

While the tofu is being pressed, go ahead and heat the oven to 350 degrees and begin dicing the veggies for this tofu quiche.

Many people saute their veggies before adding them to quiche, but I really like keeping it simple and allowing the vegetable to just cook while the quiche is baking in the oven. The flavor is still excellent!

Once the tofu is ready, you’ll place all the quiche batter ingredients EXCEPT THE VEGGIES into a food processor or blender. This will include the drained tofu, flour, milk, and spices.

Process until smooth and creamy. I do not soak my cashews before blending because I have a Vitamix blender.

If your blender is not pretty powerful, you’ll want to soak your cashews in warm water for about 30 minutes and then drain them before adding them to be blended.

Pour the quiche batter into a large bowl with the diced veggies and stir to combine well.

Next, you’ll pour the veggie quiche batter into a baking dish. I like to use my preseasoned cast iron baking pan for casseroles like this because once cast iron is seasoned, no oil needs to be added when baking. Though I know there is some concern about using cast iron pans due to the iron that is absorbed by the food, I don’t use mine that frequently so it’s not a big issue.

Silicone baking pans are also a great option because they prevent sticking without using oils and sprays. Glass baking dishes are also fine, but you’ll want to line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the quiche is cooked through. Oven cooking times vary, so keep an eye on it.

One test for doneness that I use is to poke a toothpick into the center after the cooking time as elapsed. If it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with my vegan parmesan (optional). Allow to cool and serve. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Plant-based vegan sausage makes a great addition when serving this for breakfast. It is one of the many products that I like to order from MamaSezz meal delivery service. It comes ready to heat and eat, and it can also be frozen.

Tips for making this vegan breakfast casserole

• Make sure to drain and press the tofu before using it in this recipe.
• Though I freeze tofu before using it in many recipes, this is NOT one of them. Previously frozen tofu will not work well for this dish because of the texture change that freezing causes.
• If your blender is not powerful, soak the cashews in warm water for 30 minutes before blending.
• After about 20 minutes of baking, check to make sure it’s not getting too dark on top. You want it golden brown and firm.
• Other delicious plant-based breakfast ideas–pancakes, waffles, scramble, and more–can be found on my Breakfast Page.
• This quiche casserole is a great breakfast to pair with my Smoked Tempeh Bacon.

Your Questions Answered:

• Q: What size pan should I use? I made two batches at once and used a 9″ x 13″ rectangular pan. For cooking only one batch, I imagine a 7″ x 11″ baking pan would be about perfect.
• Q: Is vegan quiche gluten-free? Sure! To make this breakfast casserole gluten-free, simply substitute chickpea flour for the whole wheat flour.
• Q: I don’t like mushrooms. What can I use as a substitute? The mushrooms are not critical, so I think you could substitute with another of your favorite veggies like sliced eggplant or zucchini.
• Q: Is soy good for you? Some people are not too sure about tofu, because it contains phytoestrogens. Turns out, phytoestrogens are very health promoting and are not at all like our body’s natural estrogen that can cause harm and lead to disease.

This makes so much sense, because the countries that consume the most soy, such as Japan and China, have the lowest rates of cancer and chronic disease. This article, Soy and Nutrition: The Latest Research, presents the facts.
