A quiche is the perfect meal prep recipe, because you’re not limited to enjoying it hot, and instead you can make it ahead of time and enjoy it cold whenever you’re next hungry.
It’s also perfect as a picnic dish, because it will keep sufficiently fresh until you’re ready to eat it.
And if you decide to go for a vegetarian one, you can satisfy just about everyone, including people who avoid eating meat.
And when your quiche is loaded with healthy vegetables, you’re providing plenty of nutrients in the form of vitamins and minerals.
So with all this in mind, I’ve been scouring the internet to find the best vegetarian quiche recipes out there – and now I get to share my hand-picked shortlist of recipes with you!
On a side note, this shortlist of recipes is going to focus on vegetarian quiches, rather than vegan ones, since most of the best vegetable quiche dishes feature some form of eggs, cheese and/or milk, meaning they have dairy.

It’s got bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, zucchini and tomatoes. Not to mention such flavorful ingredients as colby-jack cheese, ground black pepper, and dried basil.
You can use a store-bought ready-made deep dish pie crust to save yourself some time.
The recipe yields 8 slices, coming in at just 284 calories each.

Now, normally, due to the high levels of cheese content and whole milk, quiche dishes tend to be relatively high in fat, and consequently, high in calories, too.
However, in this particular recipe, you use reduced-fat milk, reduced-fat cheese, reduced-fat puff pastry and plenty of vegetables, to make a much healthier dish.
Although most quiche recipes traditionally use eggs and dairy products, there are actually quite a lot of vegan quiche recipes on the internet right now.
And this happens to be one of the most highly recommended versions out there. After well over 150 individual user ratings, the average rating still comes in at over 4 and a half stars.
