Tofu Quiche With Brussels Sprouts & Mushrooms

The first tofu quiche.

I finally accomplished quiche. Well, in a small satisfactory way. The presentation isn't as dreamily imagined, but the flavors were outright delicious. I pan seared the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms with red onions before mixing into tofu (extra firm tofu pureed in the blender). It would have been better to slice the Brussels sprouts too-- aesthetic wise. The seasoned olive oil crust (found here at C & Z) is the perfect bottom for a creamy indulgent dish topped with crushed macadamia nuts and nooch. Another hilarious thing-- I made the quiche in a rectangular Pyrex dish as opposed to the traditional tart or pie pan.
It took a lot of time, so much that a hungry me ate a few of the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms out of the skillet. Well, worth the effort though.
I also saved a few tablespoons of the tofu cream for potential dessert-- maybe blueberry cake? Not sure. Still, if one wants to use silken tofu that might be a better option for the quiche.
