I agree a new name would be good - though am not sure that veg, tofu and besan pie would do it - nor biche or viche - perhaps it could be the toby (as in TOfu and BEsan) Any more suggestions readily accepted!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-43000296072641247842015-11-15T18:49:03.573+11:002015-11-15T18:49:03.573+11:00I made this for dinner last night for a picnic.

A bit off the subject here, I see besan in a lot of gluten-free products in Melbourne. Besan isn’t quite popular here in the U.S. I love your vegan quiche version, so colorful and yum with tons of beautiful vegetables! Nice job, Sylvia on the last photo! ;)Rika@VMhttp://www.veganmiam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-34715585290409093302015-02-06T02:46:53.111+11:002015-02-06T02:46:53.111+11:00That's an impressive dish Johanna.

It isn't difficult, but just has a few components. I'm interested in experimenting with different bases and maybe some roast pumpkin in it - so I m sure there are many variations to be tried.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81924436598454955152015-02-01T14:10:39.151+11:002015-02-01T14:10:39.151+11:00Thanks Charlie - if you are used to baking with eg...Thanks Charlie - if you are used to baking with eggs and cheese, I can appreciate that this idea seems difficult - I am getting more used to using besan and nutritional yeast flakes but it took me a while with both.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-13540431656497272872015-02-01T14:06:20.861+11:002015-02-01T14:06:20.861+11:00Thanks Kate - I kept thinking I must have found a ...Thanks Kate - I kept thinking I must have found a recipe for a tofu and besan quiche but then I thought that I might have just been remembering your post with a tofu quiche and a besan quiche - definitely try the tofu bacon - it is amazing in the quicheJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-84879100312522639452015-02-01T14:04:40.065+11:002015-02-01T14:04:40.065+11:00Thanks Mhl - I made some tofu quiches that were a ...Thanks Mhl - I made some tofu quiches that were a bit soggy so it made me less keen about tofu quichesJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-3526382352618401902015-02-01T00:57:06.590+11:002015-02-01T00:57:06.590+11:00I'm glad you opened with a statement about not...I'm glad you opened with a statement about not liking traditional quiches - neither do I, at all!, but your besan scramble won me over to veganised 'scrambled eggs' and I suspect this would be the same.
