Dairy-Free Vegetable Quiche
Nothing like a simple quiche for a breakfast that feels weekend-special even though it’s weekday-easy! It take a little while to bake, but other than that, it’s a cinch.

Coconut milk makes this quiche creamy. You won’t miss the cheese. Do not pre-bake the pie crust before filling.

It says that a slice of the quiche is approx. 1176 calories, just clarifying number isn’t for the whole quiche instead?!?
Yikes! Sorry about that. It’s definitely not over 1,000 calories for one slice! I’ve corrected this, so the nutrition facts label is now correct.
Hello! I have a quick question regarding the coconut milk ~ do you mean the “Silk” brand type of coconut milk or the can? I never know which one to use! Thanks in advance!!! Elizabeth
Great question! When we mention coconut milk we always mean the canned kind unless it says “coconut milk beverage” (which would be the Silk brand type of coconut milk) or unless it says “coconut milk or almond milk” or “coconut milk or other dairy free milk of choice” – those latter two instances will be fine with canned or the beverage type.
You can sometimes swap in the coconut milk beverage in place of regular coconut milk in special circumstances, such as when it’s in something like a smoothie, where it won’t make much difference except maybe on the thickness of the smoothie, or if the recipe calls for only a few tablespoons just to thin out a sauce or something.
If it’s a baked good or something that requires the thickness of canned, then definitely stick with the canned. Or if it’s something like an ice cream recipe or coconut curry, where you’ll not only want the thickness but the richer flavor of regular coconut milk, then definitely use the canned there as well.
