Equipment

  • Oven
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot can substitute 1/2 of an onion
  • 4 oz mixed mushrooms Can substitute any mushroom
  • 5 large leaves of Kale
  • 1/16 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 bottle Plant-based Just Egg
  • 1/4 tsp black salt
  • 1/16 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pre-made pie crust I chose a vegan and gluten free one
  • 1/2 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese I used Day

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉

Prepare your veggies

  • To prepare your vegetables, being by slicing the shallot.
  • Chop the 4 oz of mushrooms into smaller pieces.
  • Next remove the stems from 5 leaves of kale and chop it up into smaller pieces.
  • Now, place a skillet on the stove over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. After the oil has heated for a minute, add your shallots.
  • Stir and cook for 2 minutes, then add your mushrooms.
  • Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add your de-stemmed and chopped kale. Cook for one more minute while mixing. Remove from heat.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon of lemon and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly combined. Set your veggie aside.

Prepare the Just Egg

  • Open the bottle of Just Egg and add 1/4 tsp black salt and 1/16 teaspoon nutmeg (a little goes a long way). You can but the seasoning right into the bottle.
  • Then put the lid back on and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. This will allow your seasoning to thoroughly mix in with the liquid. Set. Aside.

Fill the Quiche

  • Now it's time to fill the quiche! Place your quiche crust on a flat surface. I like to place mine on a cutting board so I can move it to the oven safely and easily.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms, kale, and shallots into the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Top veggies with 1/4 cup of shredded vegan cheddar cheese. Save the other half of the vegan cheese for the top. 
  • Pour the bottle of seasoned Just Egg on top.
  • Top with the other 1/4 cup of shredded vegan cheddar cheese.
  • CAREFULLY place in the preheated oven at 350ºF and bake for one hour. Depending on oven, you may need more time.
  • You will check to see if the quiche is fully cooked by placing a fork in the center. If it comes out clean...it's ready!
  • Serve and enjoy!
