This vegan Quiche Lorraine from Baconish by Leinana Two Moons bakes up light, fluffy, and custardy, much like the traditional version. Enjoy this for brunch with a mimosa.
Quiche Lorraine
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 14 ounces soft tofu, drained
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped seitan bacon or your favorite vegan bacon
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (9-inch) vegan pie crust

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. In a blender or food processor, pulse the cashews until they are finely ground. Add the tofu, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, miso paste, mustard, salt, and onion powder, then blend again until the mixture is very smooth.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until they are browned and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes.
