I’m super excited to be part of the healthy kids community this week on Instagram. My recipe is this mini egg-free quiche. It’s really simple to make and great for babies and toddlers that have allergic reactions to eggs.
To replace the eggs I have used tofu. Not a tofu fan either? Don’t worry, once cooked it has a very similar texture to egg and with the other filling ingredients it tastes like a traditional quiche.
On the hunt for more egg-free recipes? Follow these talented mamma’s on Instagram for egg-free recipes all week. Plus lots of inspiration and recipes all year round for the little folks in our lives.

Mini Egg-Free Quiche
Ingredients
- 3 sheets puff pasty
- 1/2 onion
- small handful parsley leaves
- 250 grams medium/firm tofu
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup tasty cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Cherry tomatos; halved
- Broccoli; cut into tiny florets
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC / 350ºF. Cut circles in the puff pasty using a 10 cm cutter; Spray muffin tin with oil and push pastry into the tin.
- Remove tofu from the plastic and wrap in a clean tea towel and place something heavy on top to absorb any moisture for a few minutes.
- Place the onion and parsley in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tofu and blend. Add 1/2 cup milk and blend until smooth. Add the extra milk a little at a time until it is pouring consistency. Season well.
- Stir through the cheese (reserving a little to sprinkle on top). Pour into muffin tin (don't over fill) and push the tomatoes and broccoli into the mixture. Top with the left over cheese.
- Bake for approx 30 - 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Allow to cool a little and serve warm.
Notes
Dont overfill as the tofu mixture will puff up when in the oven.
Use whatever veggies you have on hand. They are also a great way to use up leftover veggies.
I would soooooooooo love to make this with my kiddoes.
You should Bintu, it’s nice easy one and don’t they just love help in the kitchen. My little guy got up the other morning and said ‘let’s make something’. It was definitely a proud mumma moment xx
I bet my little one would love these mini quiche! I’d love them too!
Thanks Marsha, my little guy certainly did and I definitely ate my fair share!
How cute are these!! Love a great quiche! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Felesha, me too. This one is something just a little different and great for little ones who aren’t big on tofu.
These mini quiches are so cute! I will have to try these with my niece and nephew! :)
Thanks Diana, let me know what you think. I’m sure they will be a hit. xx
These looks so good. Looks like your son enjoyed them (to say the least).
lol, he loves my cooking Peter – thank goodness! We made a healthy crumble yesterday and he tried it and said ‘it’s lovely’.
LOVE these Christie. My daughter isn’t too fond of eggs wither and I tend to try new eggless things for her. This looks like her cup of tea for sure! Brilliant pics too
Thanks so much Swayam, I’ve had great feedback on this recipe so you may be in luck. Let me know what if she approves :)
