Serve this veggie quiche with a zesty green salad for the perfect brunch or family lunch this Spring!

This recipe was inspired by chef Mark Flanagan’s Coronation Quiche, which was rumored to have been served at King Charles III’s coronation. And while many people assumed the official coronation quiche recipe would contain lots of garden vegetables and springy herbs, there was much speculation as to what the exact ingredients would be.

Luckily, the royal’s chef shared the recipe in the days leading up to coronation weekend so the secret is out! The quiche will contain garden-fresh spinach, onions, cheddar cheese, broad beans, and tarragon. Well that, and quite a lot of eggs and dairy.

So I thought it would be fun to make a plant-based, vegan-friendly version of this special quiche, made with all of the same flavorful veggies and herbs.

What is Vegan Quiche Made of?

Even though this is an eggless quiche recipe, my vegan quiche version is still packed with protein, and it’s silky-smooth texture is thanks to a combo of tofu, almond milk, and a touch of olive oil to mimic the protein-water-fat ratio of an egg.

It’s light and fluffy thanks to a touch of baking powder and rich with umami from the addition of nutritional yeast.

The filling itself is simply made in a blender and comes together in a matter of minutes. Two minutes, actually, if you remember to get all of your spices out beforehand!

Ingredients to make vegan quiche filling:

• Firm tofu
• Almond milk – unsweetened
• Baking powder – for lift
• Olive oil – for a rich taste and creamy texture
• Spices – onions powder, garlic granules, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper
• Nutritional yeast – to create umami and a creamy, cheesy flavor
