Easy Spinach Quiche Recipe

Quick And Easy Tofu Quiche Recipe, Perfect For Brunch, Lunch or Dinner

Vegan Chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz knows how to make a delicious creamy vegan quiche. I borrowed her method for this quiche recipe from the Broccoli Quiche recipe in her cookbook Vegan Brunch. Check out her website The Post Punk Kitchen for some seriously tasty vegan recipes.

Just in case you think we went over the top with the herbs & spices: Tofu is very bland, so it needs LOT'S of seasoning. And this quiche is fabulously flavorful!

Spinach tofu quiche is rich and satisying, perfect served with carrot salad or green salad, and brown rice.

Serves 6 - 8: Fresh spinach makes it really divine in this quiche recipe, but frozen spinach is fine if you're in a hurry. Use our pie crust recipe, or buy a frozen pie crust to make it even faster and easier.
