50 mins
Serves: 
6

ingredients

  • 1 pack of Better Nature Smoky Tempeh Rashers
  • 1 pack of ready rolled shortcrust pastry
  • 6 tbsp egg replacer
  • 1 large white onion
  • 100g grated vegan cheese (we used a mix of ‘mature’ and ‘red cheddar’)
  • 150ml plant milk (we used unsweetened soya)
  • ½ cup gram flour
  • 100ml water
  • 125ml plant cream
  • ½ tsp black salt (kala namak)
  • A generous pinch of turmeric

instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170℃.
  2. Line your quiche tin with shortcrust pastry and using a fork, prick holes in the base so the pastry cooks evenly. 
  3. Cover the pastry with baking paper and fill with baking beans or dried chickpeas work really well too. Then pre-bake your quiche for around 10 minutes. 
  4. In the meantime, make your filling, by cooking the onion and Smoky Tempeh Rashers (cut into smaller pieces) in a frying pan with a little oil for around 10 minutes on a medium heat.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together your egg replacer, gram flour, with your milk, cream, water and seasoning. Add in your cooked onion and tempeh mix along with your grated cheese. 
  6. Once the pastry is part-cooked, remove from the oven and pour in the filling. 
  7. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the filling no longer moves if you give the tin a little shake. 
  8. Can be served while still warm or cooled completely and served cold.
