This egg-free quiche recipe uses tofu instead of eggs for a healthy and low-fat vegan breakfast. Although the recipe calls for mushrooms and broccoli, you could always substitute your favorite vegetables instead. This eggless quiche recipe is both vegetarian and vegan.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pre-made pie crust
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1 pound firm tofu, patted dry
1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1/2 cup soy milk
PREPARATION:
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and sautee the broccoli and mushrooms until cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, blend the tofu, vegan parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, salt and soy milk until smooth. Stir the vegetables and the tofu mixture together and add pepper to taste.
Pout the batter into the pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted just off-center into the quiche comes out clean.
By the way, are any of the guys in the band vegetarians or vegans???
with cheese coating the pastry and mushrooms, peas and onions as the filling.
2 eggs
splash milk
pinch paprika
pinch salt
pinch black pepper
Loosely mix those together
Grate some cheese
Slice/chop a little onion
Slice a little avocado
Chop some tomatoes, make sure they are meaty tomatoes like plum tomatoes as opposed to watery
Heat a skillet, add a couple pats of butter to cover bottom of skillet, add egg mixture. When it starts to solidify, add the chopped stuff, wait 30 seconds then fold over one side of omelette towards the other. Flip over after 15 seconds. When all is solid, scoop onto a plate of rice.

Using the "quick boil" method soak and boil 1 cup (DRY) of each of the following beans: Kidney, Pink, Pinto, and White Northern. in about 8 cups of water (rinse to make sure water runs clear) with 2 tsp. salt. Let beans continue to cook over a simmering heat (beans will be ready to eat when they can be gently mashed with a fork - a good rule of thumb when cooking beans is to pull one from the pot, mash it with your thumb and test it against your teeth for grittiness. if it feels grainy then they should cook longer.)
in a pan with 2 Tbl Olive Oil - sautée the following:
1 heart of Celery (chopped)
6 carrots (chopped)
1 (small white or yellow) onion (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
add finely chopped tomatoes to the beans and allow the tomatoes to color the bean water (which has boiled down into a thicker soup)...add the sautee mix and cook until the veggies are soft.
yum!
Thanks for posting this.

Woman, if ever I make it in any sphere, and make millions, you will be my cook/PR agent, and you'll get half of everything. Foodwise, of course.
But I make a few things just off the top of my head, from experiments and trial and error. Mostly I just try to adapt regular recipes to vegetarian.
Often make Chickpea Curry which is really simple:
a chopped onion
cloved of garlic crushed
minced chilli to taste
can of chick peas
can of chopped tomatoes
small can of corn kernels
tzatziki
coriander to garnish
rice to serve
cook onion, chili and garlic in a little olive oil till the onion is transclucent then add a can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed, a can of chopped tomatoes, a small can of corn kernels drained. Cook on a low heat for 10-20mins. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over steamed rice with a scoop of tzatiki on top and sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander.
I also make a "Mexican" variation of this by replacing the chili with Mexican flavor base, and the chick peas with kidney beans. I also add some diced capsicum at the same time as the onion goes in.
When it comes to serving I get some flour tortillas and spoon the cooked sauce mixture onto the centre of the tortilla (that I've warmed in the microzap) sprinkle on some grated cheese, chopped fresh tomato and shredded lettuce and then roll it up and spoon a dob of tzatiki on top before serving.

They are not bad. There are several different companies. IMO once you smother them in toppings they basically taste the same.

Gyros are the pita bread with yogurt cucumber sauce and the little pieces of lamb and veal that rotate on the little vertical grill if you’ve ever had them. They slice the outside of the animal carcass
I used extra firm tofu which was good, tempeh which was better, and veggie sausage which was best! That comes in a tube like Jimmy Dean sausage
It takes a bit of time to get the stuff ready, but then you marinade it overnight and make them the next day and it’s easy!
A slab of tempeh , or extra firm tofu cut into 1/4 strips, or that sausage, formed into thin strips like 1/4 inch and maybe 2 inches long
This is the “meat” marinade for the above:
4 chopped garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano or better some fresh oregano
1 small chopped onion or 1/2 half of a large onion. You use the other half below.
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon rice vinegar or other vinegar
Tzatziki is the official name for the white sauce that goes on the pita:
1 cup peeled grated cucumber
2 or more chopped garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt or for vegan, use soft tofu that you would use for smoothies.
1 tablespoon parsley
small onion, or the other half of that large onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
Other:
4 - 6 pita breads
olive oil (for cooking)
lettuce
tomatoes
Red peppers,
Whatever else floats your boat!
To make gyro "meat" cut tempeh or sausage into thin strips 1/4 to a bit more in thickness.
Next make meat marinade
Pour the marinade over the tempeh to cover it and place in fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Next, make tzatziki- combine all ingredients listed under tzatziki. Stir well and also place in fridge to sit for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
When you are ready to eat, set the tzatziki out to warm slightly while you cook the tempeh or whatever you used
Heat a large frying pan or you can wok it with 3-4 tbsp olive oil and heat over medium, once heated place Tempeh strips in and let them cook until each side is golden brown.
Remove from pan, and one at a time heat the pitas over medium heat until soft and warm.
Then layer your gyro (pita, tzatziki and tempeh) with lettuce, and/or tomato if you like.
Warning: all the above ingredients are approximate and you can’t really screw this up!
Warning: This recipe was developed by 3 people under the influence of wine, and it was even good THEN!

Some leaves of lettuce
Half an avocado
A leek
A couple plum tomatoes
zucchini
put them in a food processor, add water until it's the consistency you like, and BINGO! Would have been good if I had crusty bread and a wonderful cheese. Oh well.
Leek and avocado are necessary as far as flavor. Very nice green color. Juicier tomatoes may have been better as I didn't want to resort to adding water, but I guess vegetables as a whole may have less water than fruits. I do this with assorted fruit all the time, and it's a great pick-me-up fruit smoothie. I have to find out more about vegetables. I'm interested in exploring the raw foods idea, not as a lifestyle change, but more as a lifestyle food choice enhancement. Raw is easier

It calls for
sliced bread (like french from a baguette), preferably stale
1/4 cup chick pea flour
2tbsp cornstarch (I didn't have cornstarch so I subsituted egg replacer equivalent to 1 egg, mixed with the appropriate amount of water)
1/2 cup of soy cream (like Silk that you'd put in coffee or tea)
1/2 cup of soy milk (or rice milk)
I think I put a little salt in the mixture.
You mix it all up, put the bread in it, fry it in oil, have it with maple syrup and it is GOOD. I tried it with some trepidation but it was really good. Even my husband who is a little wary said it was good.
