This mini vegetable quiche recipe is vegan, egg-free, and easy to make.

Vegan Broccoli Quiche Cups

Quiche is one of my favorite brunch dishes, and it’s so easy to veganize. I like to use tofu in the place of eggs, and I mix my fillings. Sometimes I use spinach and mushroom, while other times I use zucchini and carrots. Vegan Quiche Lorraine made with non-dairy cheddar and tempeh bacon is always fun, too.

For this recipe, I made mini quiche cups using Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry as the crust. The filling is a mixture of tofu, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes. If broccoli isn’t your thing, try a leafy green such as spinach or arugula.

Don’t worry about making your Puff Pastry cups look perfect. I like them to have an imperfect rustic look.

How to make Vegan Broccoli Quiche Cups:

This recipe is super easy to make! It only takes a few steps

  • First you sauté the broccoli and garlic.
  • Then you mix together with the rest of the filling ingredients in a food processor or blender.
  • Next you fold the broccoli, garlic, and sun-dried into the tofu mixture.
  • Then you roll out a Puff Pastry Sheets and cut them it into 9 squares.
  • Now you press the Puff Pastry squares into a mini muffin tin to form little cups.
  • Then you fill the Puff Pastry cups with the tofu mixture.
  • Finally you bake them and eat them!

Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you probably already know that I’m not a big fan of making my own dough. I love making quiches, tarts, and pizzas, but for some reason, I just have an aversion to making the crust myself. And that’s why I love Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry so much!

Puff Pastry Sheets makes cooking my favorite doughy dishes easy. You simply defrost them for 40 minutes at room temperature and then roll them out, and they’re ready go to! They bake up to light, flaky deliciousness in just a matter of minutes. I love using them to make appetizers like mini tarts and snack bites, and they’re great for meals such as pizzas and quiches.

    I LOVE puff pastry! I usually use it for desserts, but now I’m excited to try it with your quiche recipe! In fact, I think my kids and I will give it a try this week! Looks so delicious!

    We don’t have that brand here in Australia, and I often wonder how they compare. Looks like your box is 490g for 2 sheets? 245g/sheet. So are the sheets themselves fairly thick? I buy my puff pasty in a pack of 12 sheets, and it is 1.9kg, so about 160g/sheet, and they are 30cm x 30cm. So one sheet seems to be a bit too thin, but two sheets seems to be a bit too much. Hmmm….

    Thanks for reading my random pastry math rambles. Apology for the metric. 😉

      Hi, Susan. The sheets are a little on the thicker side. You could give it a try with the type you have there and let me know how it goes!

    I always forget that puff pastry is dairy free. These quiche cups give me a good reason to get some, too.
