This is my first recipe post... It's something I've been thinking about doing for a while and today I made something new and exciting so I wanted to share it...
VEGAN QUICHE!
When I was vegetarian I didn't like eggs; the thought that they are chicken periods always grossed me out. My nan always made me quiche when she did family buffets and no matter how many times I told her I didn't like it she still always made it for me. The older I got the more I realised that family and love come before anything else so I used to have a small portion and proclaim my appreciation for her effort.
Now, my partner is vegan and says he used to love quiche but I always believed recreating eggs in vegan-form would be terribly difficult. After researching many different takes on vegan versions I trialled my own recipe...
Ingredients:
Ready-Rolled Shortcrust Pastry
1 pack (350g) Extra Firm Silken Tofu
1/2 cup Soya Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Turmeric
Various vegetables of your choice... I used Asparagus, Babycorn, Red Pepper, Spring Onion, Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash.
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. Grease a 12 hole muffin tray.
3. Chop all the vegetables into small pieces as this recipe is for mini quiches.
4. Roast all the vegetables for 5/10 minutes, just while you prep the rest of the recipe.
5. In a blender, mix the Tofu, milk, nutritional yeast and turmeric until smooth.
6. Cut out 12 circles of pastry using a cookie cutter and press down and up the sides of the muffin tray.
7. Fill the pastry cases 3/4 up with the Tofu mix.
8. Now get inventive with the flavours and add it to the quiches!
9. Bake for 15 minutes (or until slightly browned on top).
10. Let cool in the tray for 10 minutes then take out and let fully cool on a cooling rack!
Enjoy!
