I have a hard time coming up with lunch ideas, because 1) I don’t want to spend most of our weekly food budget on lunch, 2) but I still want it to be healthy, and 3) I want the prep to be quick and easy. Sometimes I come across a lunch idea that fits all three criteria and this quiche is one of them.
The last time I made this recipe, I blogged about it on here. And then I somehow forgot about it, which is a bad habit of mine. Anyway, the first time I made it, I made the crust from scratch, which is kind of a pain when you have a kitchen with hardly no counter space. So, this time around, I picked up a pre-made pie crust, which was a bit more expensive, but worth it, in my opinion.
All you have to do is cook the onion, garlic, spices and broccoli, blend your tofu and cashews, mix it all together, and bake. Let it chill overnight. And it tastes great served cold, so you don’t have to worry about using your workplace’s nasty microwave.
The recipe comes from “Vegan Brunch,” and you can find it here.
I want to try this one…I just looked at my copy of Vegan Brunch sitting on the counter this week and thought I needed to try some more recipes. Thanks for the info/encouragement!
You’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
I do exactly the same thing… find something I like, make it a couple of times and then forget. But, it’s kind of fun to recover it and start over. Always looking for things to stick in lunches.
I don’t know why, but coming up with new lunch ideas is so hard for me. But, yes, I agree. It is a lot of fun to rediscover tried-and-true recipes 🙂
