    Greens Quiche

    Nov 12, 2011 · by Katie Koteen · Modified: Aug 25, 2022

    This Greens Quiche recipe was adapted from a great article in the New York Times about vegan chef Lindsay S. Nixon. If you have a chance, check it out here. If you don't have a pie dish handy, a 8 x 8 inch square pan will do just fine.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 lb. extra-firm tofu
    • 8 oz. mushrooms (any kind)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
    • ¼ cup cornstarch
    • 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder (granulated)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (granulated)
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 3 cups chopped greens (kale, chard, collards), about 2 small bunches

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. Grease a shallow 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
    3. Sauté mushrooms in olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes.
    4. Combine all ingredients, except greens and cooked mushrooms, in a food processor or blender, process until smooth and creamy.
    5. Mix in greens and mushrooms, and transfer mixture to the pie dish.
    6. Using a spatula, spread the mixture around so it’s even on top.
    7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is firm (not mushy).
    8. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing (serving at room temperature is best).
    9. Make ahead: You can make and store the mixture in an airtight container until you’re ready to bake, or bake the quiche a day or two ahead of time and gently reheat in your oven on warm for 10 to 20 minutes.

      Hi - great looking and sounding dish. The picture shows a pie crust but the recipe doesn't have one......so are you just supposed to bake the mixings without one?? just curious....j

        @Jeff- you can make it with or without a crust. If you decide to make a crust, you can use this recipe for a Chickpea and Vegetable Quiche or you can find one in the freezer section of Whole Foods (or a like-minded grocer). Good luck!
