I simply love this tofu veggie quiche recipe. This recipe started from Oh She Glows and I modified it for simplicity. The recipe still takes longer than a simple tofu scramble, but it is so worth it! Truly delicious. Thank you Angela for the inspiration.

- 2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, mixed together
