Quick Easy Vegan Tofu Recipe: Tofu Quiche

This vegan tofu quiche recipe comes from Lonica Halley, of Organic Selections

Serves 4 - 6: This quiche is a very quick and easy tofu recipe, but so attractive and delicious, you can serve it to company or as part of a special meal. For Lonnie, this is a family favorite that they eat often, just like tofu burgers are at our house.

Use our pie crust recipe, or buy a frozen vegetarian pie crust to make it even faster and easier. Or skip the crust althogether, as Lonnie often does.

Tofu quiche is perfect served with a green salad, and brown rice.
