Despite the fact that I do indeed have a food blog. I don’t always love spending lots of time in the kitchen. I have a vast list of quick, healthy, easy recipes that everyone likes that I can make when I’m short on time – or just don’t really feel like cooking especially for vegan mini quiches!
This yummy vegan mini quiche recipe hits all those key points. It’s light and fluffy like the egg version (last time I made these my husband asked me to verify that they were indeed eggless), is a good source of protein and fiber, has a bit of a Mexican spin on it and the kids love them! Start to finish is less than half an hour, top them with some salsa and a side of veggies and you are good to go!
How To Go With Vegan Mini Quiche?
First, you saute your pepper, onion, garlic, and jalapeño (if using) until golden.
Then briefly blend your water, chickpea flour, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and seasonings (to taste). Add to a large mixing bowl with your sautéed veggies and your cilantro and mix well. Grease a muffin tin and add about 1/4 c of mixture for each quiche. Bake at 500 F, for 11-15 minutes (using a convection oven) or about 20 using a standard oven, until golden and pull away from the sides of the muffin tin.
Let cool for a few minutes before using a butter knife to gently separate quiche from muffin tin. Eat as is or topped with salsa for a vegan mini quiche. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days in a sealed container.
