Garlic Artichoke & Spinach Quiche (V)


I LOVE trying new recipes these days... especially vegan recipes that are chock full of nutrients but still taste like comfort food.  Yes... I know. As a vegan I'm supposed to adore the taste of all veggies... and I do for the most part.  But I also love rich comfort food.  This quiche is both.  

Ingredients: 
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, thoroughly drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4-5 egg replacers 
  • 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
  • 2 cups of fresh spinach
  • 1 vegan pie crust

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, and lightly grease a 9" glass pie dish. Gently squeeze the excess liquid from the artichokes after removing them from the can.
  2. Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Saute garlic and onions for a couple of minutes or until onions are slightly tender. Add spianch and artichokes and saute for another minute. Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Prepare egg replacer and slowly pour into mixture - mixing slowly.  Add 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese and stir. 
  3. Pour mixture into pie crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle rest of cheese on top.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean and cheese is lightly browned.Enjoy!


This recipe is pretty versatile. I adapted it from a crustless recipe online and added the spianch. Mushrooms would also taste amazing in this.
