Ingredients
  

For the Potato Crust
  • 1.5 - 2 pounds Potatoes Provides the base crust for the quiche; experiment with different potato varieties for unique flavors.
  • Avocado Oil Spray Used for greasing the baking dish; olive oil can also be an alternative.
  • Salt Essential for seasoning, enhancing the overall flavor of the crust.
  • Pepper Essential for seasoning, enhancing the overall flavor of the crust.
For the Filling
  • 1 orange, yellow, purple Carrots Adds color and sweetness; substitute with regular carrots if rainbow varieties are unavailable.
  • 1 bunch Fresh Spinach Offers freshness and nutrients; any leafy green like kale or swiss chard can work as an alternative.
  • 1/2 Sweet Onion Contributes sweetness when caramelized; shallots can be swapped for a different flavor profile.
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Adds umami depth; feel free to use any mushrooms based on preference or availability.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce Enhances flavor; tamari can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 tablespoon Coconut Amino Enhances flavor; tamari can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Oregano Provides herbal notes; substitute with Italian seasoning if preferred.
For the Mung Bean “Egg”
  • 1 cup Split Mung Bean Base for the vegan egg mixture; no direct substitute, but blended tofu can provide a similar texture.
  • 1 cup Soy Milk or Plant Milk Adds moisture; any unsweetened plant milk can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons Tapioca Starch Provides creaminess and helps bind; cornstarch can be a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Kala Namak Adds an eggy flavor; regular salt can work but will lack the distinctive taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Nutritional Yeast Provides a cheesy flavor; this ingredient is optional for those who prefer less cheesiness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances flavor; fresh minced garlic can be used instead.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Provides color and a subtle flavor; can be omitted if desired, but it enhances appearance.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C).
  2. Place your peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and crush them into a thick paste, and spread it evenly across the base of a greased 9-inch deep baking dish.
  3. Place your formed potato crust in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Blanch your fresh spinach for about 2 minutes. Immediately submerge the spinach in cold water to stop the cooking process, then squeeze out any excess moisture.
  5. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Add your sliced sweet onions and cook until caramelized. Then, toss in the mushrooms and sauté until they've lost their moisture. Season with soy sauce, coconut amino, and oregano.
  6. In a blender, combine the soaked split mung beans, soy milk, tapioca starch, kala namak, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and turmeric. Blend until smooth.
  7. Using a vegetable peeler, create ribbon-like slices from your colorful carrots.
  8. Once your potato crust is pre-baked, layer the blanched spinach over the crust. Then, evenly distribute the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture. Finally, pour the mung bean blend over the filling.
  9. Return the assembled quiche to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes.
  10. Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serve warm.
