I got this recipe from allrecipes.com. I played around with it adding different seasonings and vegetables. Original recipe without the pie crust works well for us.
Ingredients:
8 oz. package tofu
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup diced onion
2/3 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup shredded swiss
9" unbaked frozen pie crust, thawed (Optional, I don't use it)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Process tofu and milk in a blender or food processor, until smooth. Blend in salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, mix spinach, garlic, onion, cheeses, and tofu mixture. Mix well and pour into pie crust.
4. Bake for 30 minutes or until set, and golden-brown.
5. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Cheese and Spinach Quiche - 1
I tried a few recipes from online for spinach quiche and here are my favorites. These are altered versions of my own. I basically wanted a variety without pie base, since its high in calories. Most of the times we eat quiche for breakfast.

1 tsp. baking powder

Mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and baking powder. Add cheese and spinach. Melt butter in pie pan. Pour into mixture. Pour mixture into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
