Spinach quiche

Spinach quiche

Turning a quiche vegan is easier than it sounds! I substitute the cream for cashew cream, and no need of eggs to get the right texture. This rich quiche is creamy, cheesy, and rich in leafy greens.
Recipe inspired from Vegan made easy.

  • Ingredients

    • For the quiche dough
    1. 165g spelt flour
    2. 75g good quality margarine
    3. 1/4 tsp salt
    4. 2 tbsp water

     

    • For the filling
    1. 20g margarine
    2. 450g frozen spinach
    3. 1 onion (110g)
    4. 1 clove garlic (3g), crushed
    5. 200g cherry tomatoes, chopped in half
    6. 120g cashews, soaked for > 5h
    7. 75g vegan cheese
    8. 1/2 tsp salt
    9. 1/2 tsp black pepper
    10. 1/4 tsp nutmeg

     

    • Other
    1. 50g rocket salad (optional)

  • Instructions

    1. Combine flour, salt and margarine in a bowl and mix everything together with your fingers to turn it into a sandy crumble.
    2. Add water and shape into a dough, without overworking it.
    3. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and put it in the fridge for 1h.
    4. Take the dough out and leave it to warm up a bit while you make the filling.
    5. Heat up margarine in a pan, and fry onions until they are almost done.
    6. Add garlic and cherry tomatoes, and cook for another ~5 min.
    7. Add spinach, and cook until spinach is wilted and most of the water has evaporated from the filling.
    8. In the meantime, drain cashews and place them in a jar.
    9. Add 1/4 cup water, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and blend with an immersion blender until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
    10. Mix vegan cheese into the cream.
    11. Add  the cream + cheese to the pan with the filling, and mix everything together.
    12. Heat up the oven at 200°C.
    13. Roll out the dough on a baking paper in the shape of the oven dish (rectangle, circle...), and place it in the oven dish. Depending on which dish you use, you can either leave the baking paper underneath the dough, or grease the oven dish and get rid of the baking paper.
    14. Prick the dough with a fork everywhere (it helps transfer the moisture of the filling out of the quiche to keep the dough firmer and crispier all around).
    15. Pour the filling on the dough, and bake the quiche for ~30-45 min (depending on the thickness of the quiche and your oven).
    16. Take the quiche out of the oven, let it sit for ~ 15 min, and top it with fresh rocket salad before serving.
