Eggs are one of the cruelest foods on the planet. As countless MFA investigations have documented, many hens are left to suffer from open wounds, serious untreated injuries, and infections without proper veterinary care.

Fortunately, we can take a stand for birds suffering at factory farms by leaving eggs off our plates! And there are TONS of amazing plant-based recipes that have all of the taste and none of the torture inherent in egg-based recipes. Here are a few of our favorites:

Vegan Quiche

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. oil
2–3 cloves garlic
1 shallot bulb, roughly chopped
2 Field Roast sausages, crumbled
4 handfuls spinach
1/2 cup cashews
1 package firm tofu
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp. black salt
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 cup vegan cheese shreds
Pepper to taste

Directions:

Sauté shallots and garlic in oil until fragrant. Add sausage and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted.

In a blender, pulse cashews until no large chunks remain. Then add tofu, nutritional yeast, salt, turmeric, cheese, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and combine with spinach mixture.
