Quiche

Serves 6-8 people

1 - 9"x12" glass baking dish

Ingredients:
14 eggs separated using only 7 egg yolks
almond cheese - 'garlic and basil' or 'jalapeno jack'; cut into 1/4" cubes using entire package
2 Tbsp rice flour - to coat the almond cheese cubes, toss remaining flour away that is not adhered to the cubes
1 container Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese
1/2 container Tofutti 'sour cream'
1 Tbsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
Blender or Food Processor

1 Cup of any type of vegetable that your family likes. I always 'sweat' my vegetables prior to adding to the egg mixture to reduce the amount of liquid in the quiche while it bakes. When using mushrooms you will want to sear them in a very hot pan to get a nice brown crisp to each side before adding to the quiche. Always wash all your vegetables first!

During the summer use fresh summer vegetables like zucchini, green onions, red, yellow and green peppers, mushrooms

During the winter use vegetables like black olives, red onion, red, yellow and green peppers, mushrooms

Tomatoes - large slices about 1/4 inch thick evenly spaced, four slices to each side. Depending on the size of your tomatoes it will be one to three tomatoes you will need.

Herbs: chopped fresh chives; chopped fresh cilantro (goes well with the jalapeno jack); minced garlic

Assembly:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

First sweat all your vegetables; mushroom and minced garlic if used
Spray your baking dish with olive oil, bottom and sides

Place all the 7 egg yolks and 14 egg whites into the blender/processor, add the 'cream cheese' and 'sour cream', add salt and pepper and herbs and blend until mixed, then pour into your prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle your vegetables evenly throughout the dish, alternating with the cubed/floured almond cheese until you have used them all - top with tomatoes

Bake for one hour or until the sides are golden and the top firm when the dish is slightly shaken; you want the quiche to be cooked but not dry. Every oven is different so check your quiche a couple of times while it is baking, I've a friend whose oven bakes this in 30 minutes!
