Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust recipe or store-bought vegan crust
- 12 ounces Just Egg
- ¼ cup vegan plain yogurt unsweetened
- ¼ cup plain soy milk unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
- 1 bunch asparagus spears tops of asparagus spears only
- ¼ cup vegan mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust according to recipe directions, or use a pre-made vegan pie crust. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Roughly chop the leaf spinach, and then cut the tops of the asparagus spears about 2 inches long. Roughly chop the dill and chives.
- In a large bowl add the entire bottle of Just Egg, vegan plain yogurt, soy milk, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk the Just Egg mixture together until combined.
- Add the chopped spinach, asparagus spears, dill, and chives. Fold together until evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared pie crust with vegan mozzarella. Pour the egg mixture over top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until quiche is firm in the center. I find it easiest to take the quiche in and out of the oven if I place the pie dish on a baking pan. Halfway through the baking time, remove the quiche from the oven and cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
- Allow the quiche to cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 8 slices. Serve topped with fresh herbs of your choice. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
Top Tips for Making Just Egg Quiche
- Thoroughly whisk the Just Eggs, yogurt, and soy milk, baking powder, and seasoning so that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Don't skimp on the Just Eggs. Use the whole bottle or 12 ounces.
- Add shredded vegan mozzarella if you choose, or if you prefer, add homemade vegan feta!
- Be sure to place some aluminum foil around the edge of the pie crust to keep the crust from burning. Especially if you are using the gluten-free pie crust recipe. It can quickly brown, and the center of the Just Egg quiche needs more time to bake.
- Use a pre-made vegan crust to save yourself a bit of time.
- Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 325 F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
