Nutrition: Veggie Quiche

Recipe 2 Pre-Made Pie Crust 1 cup chopped Faux Chicken * 1/2 head of broccoli (chopped) 2 handfuls of spinach 1 handful of green onions (chopped) 2 carrot (grated) 2 tbsp minced garlic About 9 eggs 1 cup Soy Cheese ** 1 cup Goat Cheese *** Optional: 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (soy, almond, etc) Optional: 1 tbsp Flour

Substitution Items * Can substitute in cooked firm tofu or even real meat (ground beef/turkey, cubed/shredded chicken, etc.) We use stuff like this ** Can use real cheese here but we use this. *** Can leave this out but the quiche seems to hold together better leaving it in

Directions Look at the pie-crust instructions and pre-heat oven to that temperature. Pre-cook crust for 12 minutes. Cook your faux meat, tofu or real meat until its done. Chop/cube it into smaller pieces. *** Can season to your liking with Mrs Dash, Creole seasoning, salt, etc. We just sautee with garlic & little Mrs Dash. Heat a large skillet with some olive oil. Add the green onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes. Now add your chopped broccoli and grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes until the veggies go a little soft. Stir often. During the last minute of cooking, stir in some spinach. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts. Remove the skillet from heat. Add in your chopped faux meat, soy cheese and goat cheese. Stir the mixture. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into your pie crusts until they are full (you may have leftover, just eat it). Crack open your eggs into a bowl and whisk. *** Can season to your liking with Mrs Dash, Creole seasoning, salt, etc. We leave it plain though. Slowly pour the eggs into each pie crust until the mixture within the crust is saturated with eggs (careful not to spill). Bake at about 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until you see the quiche is set. Once finished, set the quiche out for about 5 mintues to cool before diving in. Enjoy.

Review The recipe is very simple and tastes great. It also requires very little prep time and can be done in a hurry if you have pre-cut veggies. It reheats well but is also good as cold leftovers. Since it has a pie crust, you can eat a slice on-the-go with no utensils (watch out for crumbs though).
