Description

One of the most classic brunch dishes is a quiche! We took the crowd favorite and made a dairy-free Breakfast Quiche. Even without dairy, this quiche recipe has all the rich, creamy flavor you’d expect from this French-inspired dish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought whole wheat frozen pie shell
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced 1/4" thick
  • 2 ears corn or 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1-8oz package flavored dairy-free cream cheese, such as garlic and chive, onion, black pepper, etc  at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F
  2. Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the zucchini on both sides over medium heat until golden, about 2-3 minutes (don't let the zucchini get too dark, because it will cook further in the oven). Season with a little salt and pepper to taste and set aside
  3. Carefully cut the corn kernels off the cob, or use the frozen corn kernels. In the same skillet,  heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté for 3-5 minutes or until lightly golden. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste and set aside
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the non-dairy cream cheese and almond milk, until smooth. Add the eggs, chopped basil, salt, and pepper and stir until well incorporated. Add the cooked corn and mix well.
  5. Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Arrange the cooked zucchini slices on top and cover the whole surface of the quiche. Bake for 45 minutes or until set. Let it cool slightly before slicing
