I have many friends and relatives who can’t eat certain foods. Including a family member who has celiac disease so can’t eat anything containing gluten. As a foodie, I’ve made it my mission to make sure these friends and family members have the BEST recipes available to them despite their dietary restrictions. I consider it giving back, food blogger-style. So I’m always dreaming up delicious gluten-free recipes and so many more. And since it is that time of the year when comfort food is king, I thought it would be the perfect time on to put a delicious gluten-free recipe on the blog. Aka this vegetable quiche served up in a gluten free tart crust. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. What I love is that this simple vegetable quiche is great for easy entertaining, weeknight dinners and leftover lunch box treats. Plus it can be prepped ahead and take to a potluck outing.
Gluten-Free Veggie Quiche is a Healthier Quiche
This recipe is a healthier quiche recipe too thanks to being loaded with mushrooms, spring onions and spinach. This recipe ticks all the ‘good stuff’ boxes. So are you ready to make this veggie quiche? Then gather all your ingredients and let me tell you……
How to Make Gluten-Free Tart Crust Step by Step
Step 1. Add the flour, dairy free butter, herbs and pulse in a food processor to a breadcrumbs consistency.
Chef’s Tip: Gluten-free flour is a mix of flours, usually containing ingredients such as rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch. The exact mixture will vary by company.
Step 2. Keep pulsing and add the iced water to bring the pastry together in a ball. Step 3. Remove the pastry, wrap it in some cling film and keep in the fridge for 30 mins. Step 4. Preheat the oven to fan-assisted 160C /180C/350F/gas 4. Lightly grease a 28cm baking dish and set aside. Step 5. Roll out the gluten free pastry dough to about a 0.5 cm thickness and line the prepared dish with the pastry. Fix any holes and prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork.
Chef’s Tip: Gluten-free pastry is crumblier, so roll carefully and patch any holes in the crust with pastry offcuts.
Step 6. Place a layer of foil on the pastry and weight this down with some baking beans and bake blind for 15 mins.
Chef’s Tip: No baking beans? You can use dried rice, dried beans or even popcorn kernels. Chef’s Tip: Don’t skip the blind-baking step. It is a necessary step to keep your crust from getting soggy.
How To Make Veggie Gluten-Free Quiche
Step 1. Remove pastry from the oven, remove the baking beans and foil and bake for a further 5 mins. Step 2. Whilst the pastry is baking heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the mushroom for about 5 mins. Step 3. Then add in the spring onions and cook for a further min and switch off and mix in the defrosted spinach. Step 4. Make the quiche filling by mixing together the milk (a2 Milk™ if you have it), eggs, salt and nutmeg in a jug. Step 5. Add the veggie filling into the pastry, top with the egg mix and bake for 30-35 mins or until golden and lightly set. Step 6. Serve the Veggie Loaded Gluten-Free Quiche with a salad.
