1. Mediterranean Veggie Quiche

No Easter brunch is complete without a savory main, and this one’s a standout. This whole food plant-based Easter recipe starts with a crispy, oil-free hash brown crust filled with a creamy chickpea flour base, briny kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, spinach, and artichokes.
