As a vegan food blogger with over 7 years of experience developing plant-based recipes, I’m always on the hunt for innovative ways to recreate typically egg-based dishes. Two of my absolute favorites are quiche and frittata – they make satisfying meals any time of day! Read below about “9 Vegan Quiche and Frittata Recipes You Must Try in 2024”.
The key to nailing the texture and flavor of egg-free quiche and frittata is choosing the right dairy substitutes. My go-tos are tofu, chickpea flour, and blended silken tofu. They provide the creaminess and binding qualities you need.
I also like to pack my vegan quiches and frittatas full of veggies. Onions, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and peppers are some of my favorites. They add great texture and nutrients.’

9 Vegan Quiche and Frittata Recipes You Must Try in 2024
Here are 9 drool-worthy vegan quiche and frittata recipes I’ve perfected over the years that I highly recommend trying in 2024:
Tofu Veggie Quiche
This protein-packed quiche is one of my most popular recipes ever. It’s made with a blend of tofu, chickpea flour and non-dairy milk for the “custard”, and loaded with sautéed onions, spinach and tomatoes. The chickpea flour gives it an eggy taste and the tofu makes it thick and creamy. It’s perfect for brunch or dinner!
Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
My vegan take on a classic broccoli cheddar quiche uses a blend of tofu, turmeric, nutritional yeast and non-dairy milk to recreate that cheesy eggy flavor. Chopped broccoli florets add texture and nutrients. The turmeric gives it that iconic yellow hue. It’s tasty warm or cold the next day!
Asparagus Mushroom Quiche
This one is perfect for spring when asparagus is in season. The combination of sautéed asparagus and mushrooms makes for an upscale flavor. Instead of a traditional pie crust, I use a pressed olive oil crust for a sophisticated touch. The silken tofu blend makes it lusciously smooth and creamy.
Southwestern Tofu Frittata
Packing this frittata full of black beans, corn, salsa and avocado gives it a fun Tex-Mex twist. Baking the tofu before blending it into the “egg” mixture helps release moisture so the frittata isn’t watery. The chickpea flour binds it all together. Topping it with avocado and hot sauce takes it over the top!
Greek Potato Frittata
This recipe combines two of my favorites – Greek flavors and a sliceable frittata. I use my homemade Greek potato hash of potatoes, spinach, sundried tomatoes, olives and spices as the base. Baking the potato mixture before adding the blended tofu makes it even more crispy on the edges. It’s delicious hot or at room temperature.
Quiche Lorraine
Bacon and cheese is the star of a classic quiche Lorraine. I mimic smoky, salty bacon flavor in my vegan version with smoked paprika, soy sauce and sautéed onions and garlic. The creamy base has nutritional yeast and non-dairy milk for a cheesy vibe. It’s so satisfying and protein-packed!
Frittata Florentine
My trick for getting that fluffy texture in this spinach frittata is to whip aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) into the blended tofu. This adds airiness. I also add lemon juice and zest, which brightens up the flavor. The fresh spinach gives it that iconic vivid green look. It’s pretty and delicious!
Hash Brown Crust Quiche
Taking your quiche game up a notch? Use a hash brown crust! Simply press thawed frozen hash browns into a pie pan to form the crust. Fill it with your favorite quiche filling blend. I love this unexpected twist. The crispy crust pairs perfectly with the creamy filling.
Roasted Veggie Frittata
Roasting veggies like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers and onions brings out their natural sweetness. I incorporate these tasty roasted veggies into my frittata recipe for deep flavor. A little smoked paprika adds warmth. The chickpea flour binds the veggies and tofu into a nice sliceable frittata.
