Gluten Free Vegan Living

Good Gluten Free Vegan Quiche is a delicacy!!  Without cheese, dairy, or eggs, I am curious as to how this Vegan Quiches measures up!

These are cute little ‘Teeny Vegan Quiches’ in the following recipe.  The recipe is not listed as Gluten Free, but I have listed a Gluten Free pie crust at the bottom of the post.

Teeny Vegan Quiches
12 ounce Extra Firm Silken (Japanese-Style) tofu
12 ounce Extra Firm Regular (Chinese Style) tofu
1/4 cup Earth Balance® Organic Soy Milk (unsweetened)
2 tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes or powder
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. tahini
1/2 tsp. onion flakes
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 pinch Salt & Pepper (to taste)
1 cup Veggies of choice, chopped small
1/2 cup Earth Balance® Buttery Spread

Quiche was off limits when I found out I was intolerant to eggs, but Vegan Quiche (Gluten Free too!) is a healthier option.  Using sprouted tofu rather than eggs makes this dish even more nutritious.  I especially like broccoli in my Vegan Quiche.  Personally, I think I would add organic mushrooms to the recipe too!  I love mushrooms!!
