Notes
1. Use cold vegan butter for a flakier crust. 2. A tart pan or square baking dish can be used if you don't have a quiche dish. 3. Add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the filling for variety. 4. Top with additional vegan cheese during the last few minutes of baking for a stronger cheesy flavor. 5. Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape.
