With egg prices soaring to nearly $10 a dozen, many are exploring alternatives, particularly in egg-based recipes such as quiche. The author experimented with four egg-free versions, catering to both vegan preferences and those with dietary restrictions, using cooked spinach as a consistent filling. The goal was to create a satisfying texture akin to traditional quiche. Techniques varied, but some found that heavy dairy components could lead to richness that detracted from the dish's balance. Overall, a range of alternatives provides opportunities for creativity in familiar favorites, even amid rising ingredient costs.
The rise in egg prices has prompted many to explore alternatives in egg-centric dishes; egg-free quiche, although challenging, can be a satisfying solution.
Testing various egg replacements for quiche revealed diverse methods—some vegan, some with dairy. Each aimed for a custardy texture that holds fillings well.
Dishes using alternatives like Just Egg reflect a shifting food landscape. My testing of egg-free quiche showed that satisfying results are possible with creativity.
While the combination of heavy cream, ricotta, and feta enhances flavor, relying on too much dairy can lead to an overly rich quiche.
