Do you miss eggs?

When I first went vegan, I missed the taste and dishes I made using eggs. As a prior vegetarian, I ate a lot of omelettes, scrambled eggs and quiche! I was really looking for something to fill that gap.

Of course, you don’t have to miss out as a vegan. Tofu is an amazing substitute for egg in a number of dishes, including this easy vegan quiche. The nutritional yeast and cheese give it a lovely mellow flavour, and you can add whatever veggies you fancy. Sometimes I’ll also add in chopped up vegan bacon or sausage.

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• 260 g plain flour and 130g margarine rubbed together for pastry (alternatively, buy pre-prepared shortcrust pastry such as Jus-rol)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 40 g chopped onion
• 40 g chopped broccoli
• 30 g tinned sweetcorn
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1 block plain firm tofu
• 2 tbsp unsweetened soya milk
• 40 g vegan cheese
• 1 shake salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional but makes it cheesier)

Instructions

• Heat oven to 200oC.
• If you're making your pastry from scratch, rub the margarine into the flour to create 'breadcrumbs'. Add enough cold water to make a soft dough (not sticky). Roll out and press into a 7in round dish.
• For the filling, first flash fry the onion, garlic and broccoli in a touch of olive oil.
• Take off the heat and add the sweetcorn, mixing together with a little salt and pepper.
• Crumble the tofu into a blender with 20g cheese and soya milk. Blend.
• Mix the nutritional yeast and fried vegetables in with your tofu mixture.
• Add your finished filling to your pastry, level out and sprinkle your remaining 20g cheese on top.
• Cook for 45 minutes or until browning on top.
• Allow to cool and then ENJOY!
