Recipe: Vegan Vegetable Quiche

Posted on October 5, 2012

Here is a recipe for one of the four quiches I made last week for my various holiday guests. In addition to this vegan variation, made with tofu, I also had a gluten-free quiche, one with spinach and feta, as well as one without cheese.  As I mentioned last week, it didn’t take a lot of extra work to accommodate everyone, and it is so nice for everyone to feel taken care of!
