Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 cup vegan sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
- Dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size. Place them in a skillet with olive oil and sauté over medium heat until they become golden and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add the crumbled vegan sausage and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it's heated through and slightly browned.
- Chop the spinach into fine pieces and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Carefully place the pre-made pie crust into the prepared pie dish, ensuring it's evenly distributed with no tears.
- Layer the sautéed potatoes and vegan sausage evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the chopped spinach over the potato and sausage layer.
- Pour the almond milk mixture slowly and evenly over the ingredients in the pie crust.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly.
- Slice into 8 equal pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Prepping the Potatoes: For the best texture, make sure to dice your potatoes into uniform pieces. This ensures they cook evenly and achieve that perfect golden crispiness.
- Sautéing for Flavor: Don’t skip the sautéing step! Cooking the potatoes and vegan sausage in olive oil adds a depth of flavor that elevates the entire quiche.
- Nutritional Yeast Magic: Nutritional yeast not only adds a cheesy flavor but also boosts the nutritional profile of your quiche. Feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste!
- Add Your Favorite Veggies: While spinach is a great choice, feel free to experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or kale for added flavor and nutrition.
- Let It Set: Allowing the quiche to cool for 10-15 minutes after baking helps it set properly, making it easier to slice and serve without falling apart.
- Serving Suggestions: This quiche is delicious warm or at room temperature. Pair it with a fresh salad or a side of fruit for a complete meal!
