Checking this ingredient list for a vegetarian page, there's genuinely nothing standing in the way — every component here is plant-based or egg-and-dairy-alternative friendly by nature, no meat, poultry, or fish anywhere in sight. This one's built around a flaky, blind-baked crust filled with a savory tumble of shallots, garlic, and baby spinach cooked down until silky and dry, then blanketed in a rich, custardy filling made with eggs, coconut milk, and a whisper of Dijon and nutmeg. Nutritional yeast lends a subtle savory depth that plays beautifully against the wilted greens. The result is a wedge that slices clean, with a gently wobbling center that firms up into a creamy, custardy bite as it cools. It's an easy make-ahead brunch centerpiece, equally good warm from the oven or at room temperature the next day, and it's a genuinely solid pick for a vegetarian table. Serve it alongside a simple salad and you've got a full meal that feels a little bit special without much fuss.

For the filling

1 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz fresh baby spinach
¼ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper

For the custard

4 large eggs
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
½ tsp dijon mustard
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the unbaked dairy free pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges. Line the crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights or dried beans, and blind-bake for 12 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes, until the bottom looks dry and just barely golden. Set aside.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
