What You Need

For this vegan sausage quiche, you’ll need vegan sausage. Choose your favorite brand or make your own if you prefer. You’ll also need a quiche crust, which you can either buy or make from scratch.

Turmeric is essential for a warm, earthy flavor and vibrant color. Grab a bunch of fresh spinach and don’t forget the asparagus, as they add a nice texture and flavor. You’ll need plant-based milk, with almond or soy milk working great. Silken tofu helps to give the quiche a creamy texture, while a little nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without any dairy.

Salt and pepper are necessary to bring out the flavors. For some extra flavor, you’ll need garlic, with both powder or fresh minced garlic being suitable options. Additionally, some olive oil is needed for sautéing.

Make sure you have a quiche pan to bake everything in. Finally, preheat a good oven to 350°F (175°C) to get your quiche cooked perfectly.

Tool Requirements

For making a vegan sausage quiche, you need a few essential kitchen tools. First, get a mixing bowl. You’ll need this to combine your ingredients. Then, grab a whisk, which helps mix everything smoothly.

A knife and cutting board are essential for chopping your veggies like spinach and asparagus. You also need a quiche pan, as this is where your quiche will bake. A measuring cup and spoons are useful to measure ingredients accurately.

Don’t forget a spatula. This helps you spread the mixture evenly in the pan. Lastly, a baking sheet can be helpful to place under the quiche pan to catch any drips.

Preparing the Ingredients

Start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need vegan sausage, turmeric, spinach, and asparagus.

• Vegan sausage: Chop it into small bite-sized pieces. This way, it’s easy to mix and evenly distribute in the quiche.
• Turmeric: Measure out about a teaspoon. This spice adds both color and flavor.
• Spinach: Wash it thoroughly and then roughly chop it. Spinach wilts down, so don’t worry about cutting it too finely.
• Asparagus: Trim the woody ends off. Cut the remaining stalks into 1-inch pieces.

Lastly, make sure you have a mixing bowl and a baking dish ready for use.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair your vegan sausage quiche with a fresh green salad. The crispiness of the lettuce and the tangy dressing balance the rich flavors of the quiche.
• Serve it warm or at room temperature, perfect for brunch or a light dinner. Add some avocado slices on the side for a creamy touch.
• You can also include some crusty bread or a slice of toast to soak up any extra deliciousness. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice complements the quiche nicely.
• For a touch of heat, drizzle some hot sauce on top. If you prefer something milder, a dollop of vegan sour cream works great.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store your leftover vegan sausage quiche in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge; it should stay fresh for up to three days.

When you’re ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the quiche on an oven-safe dish and cover it with foil. Heat for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through.

If you’re in a hurry, you can use the microwave. Place a slice on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a microwavable lid or another plate. Heat on medium for about 2-3 minutes. Check if it’s hot; if not, add another minute.

For best results, avoid reheating more than once. This helps keep the flavors and texture just right. Before storing, make sure the quiche is completely cool. This prevents condensation, which could make it soggy.

Freezing is also an option. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer bag. The quiche will last up to two months in the freezer.

To reheat from frozen, first, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, follow the oven reheating steps. If you’re short on time, you can reheat directly from frozen but add extra time in the oven, about 30-35 minutes.
