Vegan Royal Coronation Quiche

PETA

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla chose Coronation Quiche as the official recipe to mark the occasion of their crowning. So we’ve made a vegan royal coronation quiche for you to try! Buckingham Palace said the tart was chosen because it is easy to share and can be served hot or cold – making it the perfect centrepiece for street parties. Please note, you will need a 9-inch quiche dish for this royal recipe.
