I know you haven been waiting for this vegan quiché since I posted a photo of it on Instagram, so here it is!

You’ll love this vegan quiché because is really easy, you know me simplicity and beauty is what I looks for.

There is a lot of people thinking that a vegan quiché is not possible, because traditional ingredients are not vegan at all. Nevertheless this spinach and cherry tomato quiche will surprise you for the result, very similar to the original, and its texture.

This recipe, without cream and egg, uses tofu instead (a grain) what makes it lighter and suitable to have it more frequently. Great, right?
