Rawsome Raw Quiche

Making a decent quiche without the use of flour, eggs, cheese and butter is a challenge enough; throw into the mix an all-raw ingredient list and you may be wondering if it’s even possible. The answer is YES! Instead of wheat-based flour and butter, this recipe calls for macadamia nuts, flax, buckwheat and olive oil to make the perfect savory pie crust. Instead of eggs, the filling is a flavorful combination of creamy macadamia nuts (or cashews), zucchini, chives, and a miso/nutritional yeast combo to give it a cheesy flavor sans the actual cheese. This recipe may take its inspiration from a classic quiche, but is really extraordinary all on its own. Enjoy!
