This delicious quiche recipe is usually eaten pretty quickly at my house because it tastes so yummy. Try adding different items to the ingredients such as shrimp or scallops, and different cooking oils will also give the veggies different tastes. We prefer almond milk, however, soy, cashew or coconut would work as well. The piecrust can either be purchased from the gluten-free freezer section or made from scratch at home. Bob’s Red Mill and Glutino both also carry a premade package of piecrust mix you could use. Enjoy, I’m sure you’ll be making it often too.
Ingredients:
1 8- or 9-inch gluten-free piecrust, unbaked (frozen or homemade)

¼ tsp ground sea salt
¼ tsp ground peppercorns
2 c veggies of your choice chopped into bite size pieces (bell peppers, onions, spinach, kale, tomatoes, olives, etc.)
1 c gluten-free imitation crab or lobster (TransOcean brand is GF, check any others before buying)

1 tbls snipped green onion tops
1/8 tsp paprika
