Cheesy Leek Quiche [Vegan]
This cheesy quiche makes for a great dinner dish. While this recipe is delicious as is, broccoli and peppers would also work well. Make a couple of these to pop in the freezer and enjoy gooey, melty deliciousness all week (or month) long!

To Make the Pastry:

I made this yesterday and followed the directions completely. It tasted terrible! The spelt crust was very bitter and chewy, the cheesy part had too much lemon and not enough other flavors and tasted yucky. We ended up throwing it out – hopefully the squirrels and jays will like it.
i LOVE quiche! having a vegan version is SO dope!
