Not sure if I have sent this suggestion in or not, but al alternative to piecrust is to lightly oil your quiche dish and sprinkle with corn meal, then pour in your quiche mixture. Bakes up great, and firms up enough to cut and serve.

In reply to Tracey. Make it as instructed, allow it to cool, then freeze. The baking after is just to reheat it and crisp up the pastry again.

Looks amazing. Just to clarify. If making ahead and freezing, do I blind bake the crust, add filling and bake then freeze? Or add filling and freeze, then thaw & bake at time of serving? Thank you 🙏

This was fab. My add-ins were sautéed onions & chopped vegan bacon. My pie plate is 9.5”, and where I live silken tofu are only sold in 300g tubs so I had to alter my ratios slightly, but I found this recipe still worked really well. I’m sure it’d be even better as written so next time I’ll follow to the letter, and there will definitely be a next time.

I appreciate the detailed instructions of blind baking the crust. I loved my mom’s non-vegan quiche growing up, but she never did this step and yes it was always a tad soggy! This one was absolutely perfect texture & crust.

In reply to Danielle. No sorry, you need to use chickpea flour in this recipe.

Can I ask if another flour will work if I don't have chickpea on hand? TIA!

In reply to Denise. I wouldn't sub the cheese for cashews. It will change the texture of the custard completely. The quiche needs the cheese for a good flavour and the cheese melting also helps with the creamy texture of the custard once cooked and the setting too. As for how many grams 2 cups of add-ins is, that depends completely on what that add-ins are. 1 cup of broccoli weighs a completely different amount to 1 cup of mushrooms or 1 cup of vegan bacon. That's why there is no gram amount given. Just fill the quiche crust no more than halfway up with them. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi,
I wanted to ask whether you think it would be possible to swap the vegan cheese in the custard with cashews and also how many grams of add-ins would 2 cups be. Thank you!!

In reply to Sue. I'm not aware of any silken tofu that's not made from soy. Unfortunately, this recipe needs silken tofu for it to have a great texture.
