Easy Cherry Tomato Summer Quiche

This Summer Quiche makes a fabulous light lunch or dinner. It’s packed with vegetables including capsicum, spring onion and cherry tomatoes. You can serve the quiche by itself or with a green side salad. Either way, it’s simply delicious. Personally, I think my favourite part are the roasted cherry tomatoes on the top. After baking they become little umami bombs – yum!

The filling contains firm tofu which is blended together with cornflour, turmeric, nutritional yeast and a few other ingredients before the vegetables are folded in.

For the pastry, you can either make your own or use a store bought one. Personally, I think that this pastry dough goes really well with the filling. However, I could imagine that a puff pastry would also be very tasty (I have not tried that though!).
