Quiche is one of the great summer dishes, but for those following a vegan or gluten-free diet a good quiche is hard to come by. This is where our friends at The Cook and Him blog come in, with this delicious vegan, gluten free caramelised leek, red onion, and vegan "cheese" quiche with a crust made from Hodmedod's Fava Bean Flour. |
You have to hand it to Sam, Phil, and Meg the Dog over at The Cook and Him food an recipe blog. They've created what many would think would be impossible; a vegan, gluten-free quiche that's delicious to boot. The fava bean flour pastry is crisp and tasty, while the thick and extravagantly creamy filling is packed with the sweetness of the caramelised onions and leeks.

This makes a delicious vegan quiche! I adapted it slightly and cooked with roasted onion and squash as that’s what we had at home. I wondered if there’s too much liquid in the filling. Perhaps the cashew soaking water should be discarded? I only needed about 250ml of plant milk and it was already a pourable consistency.
I am not vegan so I used a conventional filling with broccoli and bacon and this was seriously one of the best quiche I have made (and I was known for a good quiche before I dropped gluten and nightshades). The pastry is so good and SO much nicer and better texture than that made with a ‘gluten free flour blend’ and no potato starch!
