			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The vegan baking experiments that have emerged from my kitchen of late fall into two categories: Brilliant or Unspeakably Bad. For example, the vegan gingerbread cookies I made two weeks ago from a recipe in <a href="http://www.joyofveganbaking.com/">The Joy of Vegan Baking</a> (I&#8217;ll post the recipe soon) were moist and spicy, with a perfect crumble and texture. My coworkers wolfed them down, marveling that vegan cookies could taste so much like their non-vegan counterparts. This initial success gave me the confidence to tackle more challenging vegan recipes, like a pumpkin spice quick bread and these <a href="http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/12/mini-crustless-tofu-quiches.html">tempting vegan tofu mini quiches</a> from the <a href="http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/">Fat Free Vegan Kitchen</a>. If the combo of fat free and vegan sounds like no fun at all, I challenge you to browse the site. With so many yummy looking recipes, it&#8217;s going to be a regular stop for me.</p>
<p>The pumpkin bread, also from <a href="http://www.joyofveganbaking.com/">The Joy of Vegan Baking</a>, was such a miserable failure that I threw the entire loaf out. I underestimated the cooking time and over mixed the batter, resulting in a super dense and chewy brick. I learned from it, though, and I think the next time I attempt the recipe the bread will come out better. </p>
<p>Earlier this week <a href="http://twitter.com/drmiggy/status/5244714515">I had the Tofu Quiche Salad</a> from <a href="http://www.fieldofgreenscuisine.com/index.html">Field of Greens</a>, and ever since I&#8217;ve been hankering for mini tofu quiches. I quick google search pointed me to <a href="http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/12/mini-crustless-tofu-quiches.html">The Fat Free Vegan Kitchen&#8217;s version</a>. Off I went to Whole Foods in search of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast">nutritional yeast</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahini">tahini</a>. Exotic ingredients be damned, I had to have those quiches. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_993" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.drmiggy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/091031_veganquiche-300x225.jpg" alt="When life gives you failed quiches, make scrambled eggs" title="091031_veganquiche" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-993" /><p class="wp-caption-text">When life gives you failed quiches, make scrambled eggs</p></div>The recipe was easy enough to follow, especially since <a href="http://www.drmiggy.com/2009/10/17/i-thought-i-knew-love/">I bought a food processor</a>. But again, I underestimated the cooking time and totally forgot to spray the muffin cups with no-stick spray. Even if I were able to extract the quiches from the muffin tin, they would have fallen to pieces. I was frustrated with myself because I hate wasting food. I scraped some of the quiche out of the tin with a spoon and ate a few bite. <strong>Wow. The stuff was delicious!</strong> So what if it doesn&#8217;t look like a fancy quiche? I scraped all the mess out and put it in a pretty bowl with a garnish. <strong>Now I have fancy tofu scrambled eggs</strong> <img src='http://www.drmiggy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The coolest thing about this recipe is that it actually tastes like egg, and the texture is spot on. I think most folks would be surprised, and many would ask for seconds.</p>
