Tofu Quiche
One of the most popular by-products of soybeans is tofu. A widely used ingredient in Far-Eastern cuisine, tofu is an ideal substitute for meat since it has high protein content. In this quiche recipe, the egg is replaced with tofu. It is also responsible for its creamy and smooth texture. Check the recipe here.
