Jamie Oliver Quiche Vegetarian Ingredients
- 125g plain flour
- 125g wholemeal flour
- 125g cold unsalted butter
- 1 large egg (for the pastry)
- 6 large eggs (for the filling)
- 1 kg asparagus
- 150g ricotta cheese
- 150g mature Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 bunch of fresh thyme (15g)
How To Make Jamie Oliver Quiche Vegetarian
- Prep the Oven and Pastry: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix both flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter and mix. Make a hole in the middle, crack in one egg, and add a bit of cold water. Mix it all together and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Roll and Bake Pastry: Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it flat. Line it in a 25cm tart tin. Use a fork to poke some holes in the base. Bake it for 20 minutes or until it’s light golden in color.
- Prepare Quiche Filling: In a bowl, beat the remaining 6 eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, the ricotta cheese, and the grated Cheddar cheese. Add the saved asparagus tips and the thyme leaves.
- Bake the Quiche: Pour this egg mixture into the baked tart shell. Bake it for 40 minutes or until the top turns golden.
How To Make Vegetarian Quiche Without Eggs
To make a vegetarian quiche without eggs, you can use silken tofu as a substitute. Replace the 6 eggs and ricotta with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of blended silken tofu. Add your favorite spices and herbs for flavor. Use this tofu mixture in the recipe where you’d normally add the eggs and ricotta.
How Long Does Vegetarian Quiche Last
- In The Fridge: vegetarian quiche can last up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
- In The Freezer: If you want to store it for a longer period, you can freeze this vegetarian quiche for up to 2-3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn.
