Notes
Instead of a pie plate, divide evenly among 6 ramekins and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until almost set.
30 seconds is too long to blend veggies into eggs. They disappeared and then floated as a separate layer to the top of the quiche during cooking so when I cut into it there were 2 distinct layers: a brown one and an empty egg layer. If I make this again, I would only pulse twice adding the spinach with the other veggies.
I know what’s for breakfast this weekend. This looks great!
Lindsay Nixon has a fabulous "nom-let" recipe in her cookbook Happy Herbivore using Silken tofu and other ingredients to get that egg flavor – I think you could use that as a base since it is baked, too.
I just tried it..it was good but I would only blend for like 10 seconds to keep it less pureed. Also, the spinach made it watery, so i would steam spinach and then drain water before adding it, or keep it fresh and throw a couple tablespoons of flour to absorb it, or maybe less milk? GREAT taste though! Will definitely make again!
