For the Crust:

1 sheet store-bought puff pastry or pie crust

Flour (for dusting)

For the Filling:

½ cup chickpea flour (besan) – The ideal egg replacement

1/2 cup milk or non-dairy plant based alternative

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or v.e.g. cheese)

1/2 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, etc.)

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp turmeric (for color, optional)

1/4 tsp black salt (kala namak) — for the eggy flavor

Salt & black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with oil or butter. This is to avoid sticking and crispy crust.

2️⃣ Prepare the Pastry

Roll the pie crust or puff pastry out on a floured surface. Using a round cutter (or small glass), punch out small circles and press into the muffin tin. Be sure that they are snug in the cups.

3️⃣ Sauté the Veggies

Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Toss in your diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms or spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Take off of heat and allow to cool.

4️⃣ Make the Egg-Free Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine: ✔ Chickpea flour – In the guise of eggs; a binder.

✔ Milk (or plant-based milk) — Smooth out the filling and gives it a creamy texture.

✔ Shredded cheese — For indulgent creaminess and flavor.

✔ Garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, black salt — Taste enhancer.

✔ Diced sautéed veggies — Zucchini works well; just press out the water. Fold in with the batter.

Whisk until you have a smooth batter that’s slightly thick.

5️⃣ Assemble the Mini Quiches

Spoon the filling mixture into each lined muffin cup until 3/4 full. Top with no extra cheese for speed and pizzazz.

6️⃣ Bake to Perfection

Fill the muffin tin and bake for 15-18 minutes until tops are golden and filling is set.

7️⃣ Cool & Serve

After the mini quiches are baked, cool for 5 minutes and carefully remove from muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

Best Egg-Free Mini Quiches: Pro Tips

✔ Use a good crust — A buttery, flaky crust makes all the difference.

✔ Do not omit the chickpea flour — Fakes as an egg substitute and provides a lovely, firm texture.

✔ The secret ingredient is black salt (kala namak) – It gives an authentic eggy taste without the eggs!

✔ Play with flavors — Add sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, or fresh herbs.

✔ Pre-make & store – Store in the fridge for max 3 days or free them for breakfast.

Variations & Additions

Mexican Limited-Qty: Add black beans, corn, and taco seasoning.

Fried: Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese.

For some spicy kick: Use chopped jalapeño or chili flakes for a spicy version.

Mushroom & Spinach: My favourite savoury flavour combo for an earthy, rich flavour.

To Make it Dairy-Free: Use vegan cheese or nutritional yeast in place of dairy cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I omit the cheese in these quiches?

Yes! Simply omit the cheese or sub nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor that’s dairy-free.

Is it ever possible to substitute all-purpose flour for chickpea flour?

Chickpea flour is ideal because it best mimics eggs, but you can experiment with cornstarch or a vegan egg replacer.

How can I store and reheat them?

Store, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for three days, or freeze, for a month. To reheat, place in the oven, preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.

Can I do a big quiche instead of mini quiches?

Absolutely! Just use a regular pie dish, and bake it for 30-35 minutes, until it’s set.

What can I substitute for pie crust?

Use phyllo dough, puff pastry or even a shredded potato crust for a gluten-free version.
