The first time I tried tofu my friend baked a block for me, slathered in BBQ sauce and called it dinner. I’m a champ so I stomached it, but I pretty much vowed to never eat the stuff again.

Obviously, my opinions have since changed.

I would consider myself a quiche fan, but certainly not an aficionado. But I wanted to give a tofu version a try.

After mastering tofu in stir fries, peanut sauce, and spring rolls, a quiche seemed like the next step in my tofu journey. And I’m happy to report my experiment was a success; you could say I’m a total tofu quiche convert (it’s what all the hipsters are doing).

This quiche is simple! So even if you’ve never attempted a quiche before, I have faith that you can nail this version.

It requires just 10 ingredients and simple methods even the novice cook can master.

For starters, the crust is just hash browns (making the whole thing naturally gluten-free)! And the filling is loaded with roasted veggies (any you have on hand), and a mixture of silken tofu, hummus and nutritional yeast to give it that perfect “egg-like” flavor and texture.

For those skeptics out there saying, “Yeah, but what does it taste like?” I say, (Rhonda,) it tastes amazing! Seriously, it’s:

Savory

Satisfying

Comforting

Loaded with veggies

Healthy

Crispy on the crust

Egg-like in the center

& Convincingly close to the real thing

I think this quiche would be lovely for brunches and lazy weekend mornings, as well as when you have family in town for the holidays. I’m confident vegans and non-vegans alike would totally dig this quiche.
