My all time favorite recipe is this deep dish pizza quiche! It has a sweet potato crust filled with pizza tomato sauce, a 'ricotta' and kale filling, roasted Mediterranean veggies and a cheesy tahini sauce.
Deep Dish Pizza Quiche
A sweet potato crust filled with pizza tomato sauce, a 'ricotta' and kale filling, roasted Mediterranean veggies and a cheesy tahini sauce.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Crust
- 1 large sweet potato, baked or boiled with skin on
- ½ cup flour (I used ground millet and chickpea flour)
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbs chia seeds, finely ground
- ½ tsp baking powder
Tomato pizza sauce
- 4 tomatoes, chopped, or ½ cup tomato paste or ½ cup tomato pizza sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- Oregano and other herbs, as desired
‘Ricotta’ and kale quiche filling
- 150 g extra firm tofu (see notes)
- 2 handfuls kale
- ¼ cup dairy-free milk
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- Salt, pepper and herbs, as desired
Pizza toppings
- ½-1 cup fresh vegetables as desired
Cheese sauce
- 2 tbs tahini
- 2 tbs nutritional yeast
- 2 tbs water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C. Line a round cake tin or pie dish with baking paper.
- In a food processor, whizz all crust ingredients until smooth and combined. The crust should be like a paste.
- Use a spatula to spread the crust on the bottom and sides of your cake pan. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until surface is dry just to the touch.
- For the tomato pizza sauce: If you are making your own sauce, place all ingredients in a saucepan with a dash of water. Bring saucepan to boil then simmer until tomatoes have reduced to a sauce-like consistency. Set aside.
- For the ‘ricotta’ and kale quiche filling: In a food processor, whizz all ingredients until smooth and it forms a very thick paste. If it is not smooth enough, add more milk
- Slice vegetables thinly.
- To assemble pizza: Remove crust from oven. Spread tomato pizza sauce on base, then ‘ricotta’ filling, then vegetables.
- Bake pizza in oven for 45 minutes or until the crust starts to come away from the sides of the tin/pan and there is no more water leaking from the quiche.
- Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce by mixing all ingredients until smooth. Add more water for a thinner sauce. Set aside.
- Remove pizza from oven and drizzle with cheese sauce. Rest pizza for 10 minutes then serve!
Notes
Make sure you get extra firm tofu otherwise your quiche will not set and the excess water may leak into the crust and pan.

This recipe looks incredible! Id just like to know if you were not to use tofu what you would use instead? Thank you so much!
I love what you do, it is truly incredible! 🙂
Thanks Tyla! It's definitely still a fav of mine :). Instead of tofu, you could probably soak some cashews overnight and blend it with some plant-based milk the next day to make kind of a savoury cashew cream! I haven't tried this before, but I don't see why it wouldn't work :).
I'm. Alllergic to soy, what can I replace tahini and tofu with?!:(
Hi Lucie! You can replace the tahini with any nut butter. As for tofu, you might be able to soak chickpeas and blend it with a little milk. I haven't tried it but I imagine it would have the same texture 🙂
My pleasure!
wow...this recipe makes my tummy happy 🙂 i can make my own pizza by using your delicious recipe. i'm extremelly thank you for you and for your recipes. bravo for you.
Aw, I'm glad. I hope you enjoy making your own pizza 🙂
arouse my appetite .. nyummyyyyyy 🙂
Okay so I usually say I wasn't too keen on pizza because there's too much crust with too few vegetables. This, however? Amazing. So very amazing.
I know exactly what you mean! I always tend to load my pizzas with a lot of veggies and this recipe allows you to do just that! If you get to give it a go, I hope you enjoy it xo
I can hardly believe my eyes!
This is completely gorgeous and I want to make some this weekend and I am just taken back with the beauty, the flavourings, and a DEEP PIZZA!
Thank,you!
Aww, thank you so much beautiful! I made this pizza again and I still love it! I hope you get the chance to make it soon. Let me know how you go if you do! xo
I just saw this on Finding Vegan and it looks amazing! I need to make this 🙂
Hey Cathy! Thanks for popping by! I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did! Let me know if you have any issues. Have a lovely day xo
Oh Andrea it looks divine!!
Please tell me that your considering selling some savory vegan dishes such as these!
I for one would be a regular (amd very happy) customer!
So much love
Nicole ?
Aw, thanks so much Nicole! I've only briefly thought about selling some savoury dishes and this would definitely be on the list! I'm having a stall at the LGF (soo excited), so maybe I could sell some there?! What kind of savoury dishes would you be interested in? xo
Hi, I'm a big fan of your recipes and photos- they're so artistic! I agree 100% on social media, I find it can be so impersonal, I love checking out blogs instead as they feel more "grounded".
Personally, I'd love to hear how you came to veganism, and eating sustainable and vegan has come to mean to you in future posts- only if you're not too busy!
Wishing you all the best, and thank you for your insightful posts and recipes : > !!
Aw, thanks so much Chelsea! And I completely agree - I feel like I really get to know a person through a blog rather than social media.
Oh yes! I'll talk a little about my story into veganism in the future! I wouldn't know where to start but I'll have a think about it. Thank you again and I hope you have a lovely week xoxo
Any ideas for veggie combinations?
I would put together Mediterranean veggies (capsicum, zuchinni, mushrooms) or a bunch of green veggies (spinach, avocado, green capsicum). The options are endless and it's best to go with what veggies you normally like xo
This recipe sounds amazing! I don't think i have one favourite food,but quiere and pasta dishes are high on my list of things i like to eat. And you're so right about social media - it's a weird one-sided World out there!
Thank you lovely! And I'm so glad that you agree about social media too! I love chatting to other people and opening my mind to other people's thoughts and opinions. But some people just like to hear themselves speak! I hope you are having a lovely weekend xo
I know I'm replying to your comment quite late, but a cold and rainy day in Tassie sounds beautiful! I visited Tassie once and it was one of the most beautiful places I've seen in Australia. I can imagine how beautiful the greenery would smell after rain! I remade this recipe recently and it was as delicious (and easy) as I remember! Definitely one of my favourite savoury recipes here xo
This looks fantastic! I can't wait to give it a go. I wish I had found this recipe yesterday as it was cold and rainy and we lit the fire here in Tassie. I just saw the other links under the main recipe and need to make all of them as well. I LOVE this blog 🙂
This recipe is absolutely amazing. I just made it for dinner this evening and was blown away by how tasty and easy it was to make! I've been vegan for about 2 months now and the thing I crave most is pizza so this has been an absolute savior 🙂 Thanks so much- can't wait to try the others!
Hi Nicky! Thank you so much and I'm so glad that you loved it! There are plenty of extremely tasty and easy vegan pizza options so I hope you continue to find some that you love! xo
My pleasure! It was crazily delicious - I even surprised myself! I did some more experimenting and made a deep dish pizza as well (recipe is up on my blog now). I don't think I can go back to 'normal' pizza again, hahaha. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! xoxo
Oh my gosh I'm definitely going to try this!! I've missed deep dish SO much since going vegan and this looks too good. Thanks for the recipe!!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! This looks absolutely INCREDIBLE! I've never had a deep dish pizza before, but looking at this I feel like I haven't lived! This is going on my to-do list now! You are too talented for words lady! xxx
Thanks so much for your lovely comment beautiful! And I totally know what you mean! I never had a deep dish anything before (ok... except a deep dish cookie) before. When I made this pizza, I convinced myself that I could never have 'normal' pizza again. Now it's deep dish everrrythiiing. I had a go at a deep dish falafel pizza today - so I'll have to post that recipe soon! xoxo
