Bonjour Quiche Quixotic
This Bonjour Quiche Quixotic is not your average quiche—we've given it a plant-based Swiss twist! We start with a flaky whole wheat crust, then fill it with a creamy and savory blend of tofu, spinach, plant-based milk, vegan Gruyère-style cheese, and a touch of herbs. But what sets this quiche apart is its texture: perfectly firm and set in the center, with a custardy richness throughout. You won't miss the eggs in this seriously satisfying breakfast or brunch dish!
The Bonjour Quiche Quixotic was born out of a love for quiche and a desire to create a vegan version that was just as delicious and satisfying as the traditional egg-based dish. After many rounds of experimentation, we finally cracked the code: a creamy and flavorful filling made with crumbled extra firm tofu, fresh spinach, plant-based milk, and vegan Gruyère-style cheese, all nestled in a flaky whole wheat crust. The result is a quiche that is both hearty and light, with a custardy texture that will make you forget all about the eggs. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking for a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch option, this Bonjour Quiche Quixotic is sure to become a favorite.
