How to Make Vegan JUST Egg Quiche
This is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to make this recipe including photographs. For the quick version, skip ahead to the recipe card below!
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. While the oven heats up, dice the shallot and sauté it in a frying pan over medium heat with olive oil and the Italian herbs. Let it cook until fragrant, translucent, and lightly golden brown – about 5 minutes.
Grate some vegan parmesan cheese and sprinkle a thin layer onto the bottom of the frozen prepared pie crust. This adds a deliciously cheesy base to the quiche filling and helps prevent excess liquid from making the crust soggy.
Shake the JUST Egg bottle well and pour the entire bottle of JUST Egg into the pie crust. Stir in the sautéed shallots, then add salt, black pepper, and the rest of the vegan parmesan cheese on top.
If you are using a store-bought pie crust with a tin, place the whole thing on a baking sheet or in a larger pie dish for easier transferring to and from the oven as well as to prevent spilling into your oven.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake at 350F for 30-45 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with a pie shield or aluminum foil to prevent over-baking.
That’s it! Serve and enjoy!

FAQ: Vegan JUST Egg Quiche
JUST Egg is the best way to achieve the right fluffy texture. I have not attempted this recipe with other egg replacers, but you can experiment and let me know how they turn out!
Yes! Wrap the entire quiche or individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw fully then reheat in the oven at 250F until heated through.
Grating vegan parmesan onto the pie shell before adding the just egg mixture helps create a barrier against excess liquid. You can also pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before filling.
Absolutely! Divide the just egg mixture into a 12-cup muffin tin lined with mini pie crusts, pieces of puff pastry, or bake crustless for bite-sized quiches. Reduce baking time to around 20-25 minutes.
