Vegan Tofu Quiche

The perfect meal for any vegetarian! This Tofu Quiche has plenty of vegetables and soy-based protein to make it filling without the meat.

You can make a delicious, creamy quiche without the use of meat or dairy. The crispy crust and filling will have you craving seconds!

The traditional quiche recipe calls for heavy cream (or milk) and eggs, but it would be too rich sometimes. So I prefer to make alternatives with tofu which have a more mild flavor instead!

This recipe is for you if:
• You love tofu.
• You are looking for a vegan party recipe.
• You want to make a quiche with tofu.

Let me walk you through the ingredients and how to make them with step-by-step instructions. Let's get cooking!
