Every now and again we like to get together with our friends and let loose on Sunday. This week we decided to have a brunch picnic in the park. We had coffee, mimosas, fruit, hummus, fresh pitas, and vegan quiche. Then we ran around in our clothes in the water park!!! For my quiche I used a store bought vegan friendly crust and filled it with kale, baby portobellos, red onion, and tomatoes. The crust is not necessary if you do not have access to one and you can use whatever veggies you like or have on hand to fill.

I've never made quiche with tofu, I have to admit this looks rather impressive and very appealing to the stomach.

This was delicious. I have never been a fan of quiche (eggs in general), but this was great. The texture and flavor. The pastry/pie crust also gave it a sweet feel to it.
