A YOUNG ACTIVIST FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS

Claire Hagins is a crusader for the animals.

Wow-what an amazing young woman!  At such a young age she is already making a huge difference in the world by introducing veganism to her young peers and raising money to help fight all the animal injustice in the world.  She also wants to help humans by becoming a surgeon when she grows up, and I am certain she will do just that!  What an ambitious, compassionate human being.

Let’s check out the magic she created in the kitchen by making her special vegan Quiche Lorraine!

HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS QUICHE LORRAINE

This eggless quiche is made using tofu instead of egg alternatives like Just Egg.  Either way, you choose to make your vegan quiche is a good way!  Both taste delicious.  Tofu has been used for quiche making long before egg alternatives existed, and it works great.  add your favorite veggies and even some plant-based cheese and you’ll be in heaven!

All the ingredients for this delicious recipe.
