Tofu quiche

Tofu Quiche

As Conor may have said, we’re backtracking a bit as we’ve been doing this a few weeks and only recently decided to make a blog about it. Just to explain why there’s more than one post per week or so here!

The next recipe was a lovely tofu quiche, adapted from the recipe from here: http://www.vegangela.com/2011/04/18/versatile-vegan-quiche/

The pictures looked so good we just had to try it!

We followed the recipe exactly, except for the nutritional yeast. This possibly could’ve helped it taste more cheesy or egg-like, but being students in a small Irish town, nutritional yeast wasn’t easy to find (or heard of!). Instead we used some dried baking yeast and added about 2 tablespoons of water to it… perhaps this was a silly thing to do or maybe it just gave it some added flavour.

We also made our own shortcrust pastry to go with it.

The tofu quiche turned out so delicious! We sprinkled a good bit of paprika on top.

I would say some sundried tomatoes would have been lovely in it too, though the tomato topping on top made it look rather appealing.

Here’s some photos of the two quiches we madeJ
