Eggless Quiche

I got a new kitchen (with induction stove, microwave, and oven all included) installed in my to-be apartment at home! I really was looking forward to testing the oven!

I found a pastry dough in the freezer, and decided to tackle an egg-free version of quiche. Going with what vegetables were available, I quickly stir-fried some shredded carrots, celery, cauliflower, and frozen green peas. To that, I added some crushed tofu (about half a block).

To bind it together, I made a béchamel sauce which had Greek yogurt instead of milk or cream (for a healthier option, as well as for thickening purposes. I was really surprised when the quiche came out of the oven somewhat yellowed! I guess the browning from the oven, plus the color of the carrots kind of helped to bring out such a color. I am very happy with using tofu and béchamel to bind things together into a quiche, so I'll likely make it again.

Roasted Veggies Pasta

Last night, I made pasta with homemade arugula pesto (from the arugula that grows in abundance in my cousin's garden). To top it, I roasted some cauliflower florets in the oven with a bit of olive oil. Then I roasted halved cherry tomatoes, and mixed it all into the past. Then topped with thin pieces of strong gruyère cheese (because I don't have any parmesan in the fridge right now T_T).

Last night's dinner!

Cauliflower gratin, white rice (cooked in a rice-cooker ^^), and salad: tomato, mozzarella, lettuce, and chicon (Belgian endives, I don't know how you call it in English).
