OGGS® Vegan Coronation Quiche

Looking for a neat vegan twist on the Coronation Quiche? You need look no further! Scrambled OGGS®, spinach, plant-based cheese and broad beans make this perfect for a Coronation street party. Feel free to mix up the fillings however you want!

This cracking alternative isn't merely tasty, it's also a great source of plant-based protein, meaning you’ll be properly fuelled and ready to hit up all the royal celebrations this May.

Ingredients:

200ml Scrambled OGGS®

500g plant-based shortcrust pastry block

150ml plant-based milk alternative

1 tbsp olive oil

60g cooked broad beans

180g cooked spinach, lightly chopped

100g grated plant-based cheese (Violife is favoured for this role!)

Salt

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Side salad, to serve

Method:

Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 180°C Fan (200°C / Gas 6).

Roll the pastry to the thickness of 3mm and line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottomed, fluted tart tin.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Whisk together the Scrambled OGGS® and milk alternative in a large jug and season with salt and pepper.

Scatter half the plant-based cheese into the quiche, alongside the chopped spinach, cooked broad beans and tarragon.

Pour into the pastry case and top with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 40-50 mins until the quiche has completely set and the top is golden.

Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve with a side salad!

Doing your bit

Not only can you rest assured knowing you have all the ingredients you need to make that Royal quiche, you’ll also be doing your bit for the environment (we think our new King will approve!).

Nutritious and delicious, Scrambled OGGS® produces 60% less CO2 equivalent than eggs. With their range of plant-based egg alternatives and sweet treats, to date, OGGS® has saved over 3 million eggs, given over half a million chickens the week off, and saved enough CO2e to drive around the world 123 times!

Oggs for Eggs

We owe an apology to those wonderful folks over at Oggs. The publication of this post was delayed by the dreaded COVID.

If you are lucky, you have an eggs free cake shop within easy reach of you. Their cakes are really delicious and great for people who are allergic to eggs or who are vegans.

However, egg free cakes made at home haven't always been as tasty or as "good" as cakes made with eggs.

But! Now with the introduction of the real alternatives to eggs, Oggs, you, too can also make egg free cakes that are just as good as the very best cakes.

Using soya-based alternatives isn't an option for us, as my wife has a soya allergy so the fact Oggs doesn't use soya is a real blessing for us.

The Oggs eggs alternative is  Aquafaba, which is chickpea water, and it works perfectly every time. It's ideal for vegan baking, all you need do is just whip and whisk it just like an egg in all of your favourite recipes.

Their 200ml carton is great for home bakers and shakers, and the 1L carton ideal for professional bakers, chefs and bartenders.

So if you own a bakery you too can start making vegan cakes and sweet and savoury treats just like the egg free cake bakeries!

And if you miss having scrambled eggs at breakfast, lunchtime, teatime or for supper, they have Scrambled Oggs which whop up to make a perfect and very tasty alternative to traditional scrambled eggs which are great by themselves, on toast or with vegan sausages, vegan bacon or vegan burgers or with vegan cheese grated on top.

They are available in Waitrose, Tesco, Co-Ops, Sainsbury branches and other retailers.

Not only do they produce the Aquafaba egg alternatives, they also bake delicious cakes and hot puddings, too!

Some restaurants and cocktail bars offer Aquafaba products, too. And you can use them in your own restaurant or premises.
