Simple Tofu Quiche. The first time I tried tofu my friend baked a block for me, slathered in BBQ sauce and called it dinner. I’m a champ so I stomached it, but I pretty much vowed to never eat the stuff again. Obviously, my opinions have since changed. I would consider myself a quiche fan, but certainly not an aficionado. But I wanted to give a tofu version a try. After mastering tofu in stir fries, peanut sauce, and spring rolls, a quiche seemed like the next step in my tofu journey. This quiche is simple! It requires just 10 ingredients and simple methods even the novice cook can master. For starters, the crust is just hash browns (making the whole thing naturally gluten free)! For those skeptics out there saying, “Yeah, but what does it taste like?” Savory Satisfying Comforting Loaded with veggies Healthy Crispy on the crust Egg-like in the center And convincingly close to the real thing If you give this recipe a try, let us know!

I know I’ve mentioned this several times before, but I’m a volume eater. If you decide you want to make this with summer produce and then freeze it for later this fall, you’ll follow the recipe instructions as they’re written below, let the chili cool a bit, then pack it in a freezer bag or Tupperware container and pop it in the freezer.
