Vegan Quiche with green Asparagus

Hi everybody!

Here’s my belated second Easter recipe for you (Easter 2017 for the win :D). And I’m not exaggerating when I tell you, this is da shit! Listen up: A vegan quiche with green asparagus, scallions, wild garlic and dried tomatoes. This was the first quiche I’ve ever prepared by myself and I succeeded greatly at the first try. This recipe is ridiculously easy and so delicious and aesthetic!

For Easter and Spring approaching I wracked my brains to make some sick vegan awesomeness for you. And I’m really happy, that I managed to do that with this vegan quiche recipe on all layers. The taste is heavenly! Luscious green asparagus (I prefer it to the white asparagus). Wild garlic, for the aromatic flavour, spring onions, because they’re great. And dried tomatoes for the touch of fruitiness and to add some colour. After having baked this quiche I’m totally motivated to experiment further and create many other great combinations!

This time by the way, was also the first time I had some great support. A dear fellow student, lover of food and still life photography as well (everything that doesn’t move so to speak) payed me a visit last Sunday and together we spend all day cooking and photographing. It was quite a welcome change to not talk to myself over hours (I really should really get out of this habit!). I got some totally new perspectives on my own photography. And at some points where I alone might have given up and sticked to the photos I produced, even though I wasn’t 100% happy, Mareike managed to show me new approached and pushed me further, until we stared at the camera display, nodded our heads in unison and high fived each other for our awesomeness.

Have fun, trying this recipe at home! And please let me now, how you liked it!

Gram flour by the way can be found in asian supermarkets and isn't that expensive usually.
