Vegan Breakfast Quiche With Simply Potatoes Hash Brown Crust image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This is a recipe I created. It is a vegetarian style quiche made with tofu and nutritional yeast flakes, onion, garlic, spinach, and a few spices. I also used a bit of coconut milk which, when cutting out cheese in a recipe, adds a bit of creaminess. Although coconut milk is high in saturated fat, it is also full of fiber and has been found to be very healthy. I also used Simply Potatoes hash browns for crust. It is really healthy without the eggs and cholesterol.

I thought this quiche was just okay. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too runny. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This quiche was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think I would use less salt next time.
