I love 'veganizing' old family recipes, but there are some traditional dishes that are almost impossible to make without certain key ingredients - like quiche - which is basically an egg and cheese pie.
Over the years, I've made a few unsuccessful attempts trying to create a recipe for vegan quiche that really worked. The flavor was amazing but the texture and consistency wasn't quite right. There are lots of recipes out there using tofu, and don't get me wrong - I like tofu - just not in quiche. I was on a mission to create a perfect vegan version of a traditional quiche, capturing just the right texture and taste but without tofu.
What to use instead of egg in a vegan quiche?
Problem was, up until recently, there just weren't any suitable egg replacers that worked well for quiche. Until now.
Thanks to the talented geniuses at JUST, we home cooks now have JUST Egg, a vegan egg substitute that requires no mixing or preparation. Straight from the bottle, it's ideal for egg-centric dishes, like quiche. I found that out when my daughter and I decided to prepare her grandma's traditional spinach quiche recipe using JUST Egg instead of eggs. Oh WOW. We nailed it!

What an amazing recipe! I made it again this weekend. Thanks for the game changing brunch idea! Denice K.
What is the best vegan cheese for quiche?
There's never been a better time to be vegan. With so many fabulous options in non-dairy butters and cheese, you can enjoy many of your favorite traditional cheese-centric dishes using all vegan ingredients.
For this quiche recipe, I suggest using a variety - two or three - different types of cheese. Most vegan cheeses tend to be softer than dairy cheese. That's ok. Just find cheeses that you like. Here are some of the cheeses we like and have used at various times in this recipe:
- Miyoko's Creamery - Cream cheese, Cultured Cheddar, & Mozz
- Kite Hill - Cream cheese & Ricotta
- Chao - Cheese slices
- Violife - Parmesan
- Vromage - Small batch Artisan cheese
This scrumptious, easy vegan quiche recipe is ideal for brunch, lunch, dinner, Mother's Day or any day!

How to make an easy vegan pie crust
I recommend making your own pie crust. There is nothing quite like a flaky homemade crust. It's easy to do and so much better than store-bought, but you can certainly use a pre-made pie dough if you don't have time to make your own.
I also suggest watching my pie crust video.
🥕Variations
You can add or substitute a variety of veggies in this recipe like:
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Peppers
- Asparagus
🥕NOTE: Soft vegetables like tomatoes and zucchini will add extra liquid to your quiche, so you may need to remove the pulp or let your quiche bake longer, otherwise it may not fully set.

Great recipe which I followed very carefully. For some reason mine didn't really get firm and remained quite wobbly and liquidy. I'll keep trying though. Thank you for posting.
Connie Edwards McGaughy
Hi Raj - I'm glad you like the recipe. I have found the main reasons the quiche may not set firmly are 1. The spinach needs to be fully drained with no excess liquid. 2. The JUST Egg should be added with the veggies & cheese while the pan is hot. (I re-read the instructions and realize that I hadn't clarified it in the written instructions - just in the video) I've updated it. 3. Some cheeses set faster when refrigerated, in which case placing the quiche in the fridge may help it set. I do hope you decide to give it another try. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
