You Pick the Veggies Vegan Quiche image

If ever a recipe was in need of an extreme make-over, it's the quiche. Exit all those high-fat, high-cholesterol ingredients and enter a fabulous new recipe that tastes great, is actually healthy for you and best of all, is quick to put together when you use a prepared pie crust. From the book "Quick Fix Vegetarian" by Robin Robertson. Be creative with your veggies, asparagus,spinach, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes... Or skip the veggies and use some tempeh bacon or TVP crumbles. So many options! Note, if you use silken tofu, you may want to add 1/4c thickener such as cornstarch or arrowroot
