This delicious-looking Spring Vegetable Tart is so easy to make: fresh or frozen veggies and store-bought puff pastry are doing all the hard work for you.

Hello my beautiful friends!
How strange, this would normally be the time of the year when everybody starts getting exctied about all things Spring, from organizing a picnic to baking a Vegan quiche. Well, except this year: this year Spring has arrived with a quarantine lockdown in most countries of the world.

But life still goes on, no matter the circumstances, so we still have families to feed (or ourselves at least!) and spring veggies (or frozen veggies) come in handy in this easy yet festive recipe.

This is one of those recipes that captures all that I love: it’s easy and fast to make, but despite of that the results are impressive and each bite delivers a wholesome, silky, savory satisfactory experience.

You could totally make this with veggies out of your freezer, or perhaps canned, but if you can – maybe you grow your own? – definitely make this Spring Vegetable Tart with fresh produce.

For this super easy Spring Vegetable Tart, you’ll only need  a couple of veggies, tofu, soy cream, salt and pepper to season and a ready-made Vegan-friendly or “accidentally-Vegan” pie crust; then you are all set. You can also experiment with the toppings, depending on which vegetables you have at hand. Radishes would have been a perfect addition for example, but I didn’t have any at the moment of baking this tart.
And in case you haven’t noticed, no eggs are required, yay! For the filling I simply mixed together some crumbled tofu (when you add a splash of lemon juice, it’s basically vegetable ricotta!) and soy cream with herbs, to create a nice smooth, savory custard.

This savory Spring Vegetable Tart is indeed very similar to a quiche, so call it what you want…. Just make it and enjoy it because it will be the easiest (but also most delicious and visually impressive) dish you will make this spring.  Just remember not to cut into the tart straight out of the oven.  Allow it to set (covered in tinfoil or with a lid).  I usually give it about 20 minutes or so after it’s out of the oven, this way the slices will keep their shape and still be warm enough to savor.

This Vegan Spring Vegetable Tart makes for a great brunch or light lunch with a crunchy side salad.  Serve warm or at room temperature.
And it’s up to you wether you want to make it into a more traditional round shape or a rectangular one like I did here. For this one I used a Non-Stick Removable Loose Bottom Quiche Tart Pan and I just love how it looks :)

Come on, have a slice, or two!
