Is there anyway to cook this recipe in a slow cooker?
Crescent Zucchini and Kale Quiche
Ingredients:
2 packages Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 block tofu
1/2 bag of frozen kale (or a few handfuls fresh)
1/2 bag of frozen sliced zucchini (or two fresh sliced into small flat chunks)
as much minced garlic as you want
as much minced/chopped white onion as you like
a few shakes each of thyme and oregano
garlic salt to taste
enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a medium sized pan
Follow Your Heart Monterey jack “cheese” to taste
Directions:
First, open your package of tofu and put in a pasta strainer, and put the strainer over a dish. Fold up some paper towels and put them on top of the tofu, and then put something heavy on top (but not too heavy- you want the tofu to say in a block and not turn to mush). Let this drain for a while- maybe 20-30 minutes.
You may want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F now, too.
While that’s draining, saute the veggies in olive oil until they’re soft and wilted.
Then you get a pie pan (the glass ones are best because you can see through the bottom to make sure the crust is browned) and completely line it with the crescent rolls. Don’t worry about overlapping- it makes the pie that much more delicious.
By now, the tofu should be dry enough, so take that out and crumble it with your hands into a blender or food processor. Put the sauteed veggies in and process it all together until you get a thick consistency- I like to leave some chunks for texture and variety.
Then, dump the mixture into the pie pan and shred a ton of cheese on top of it. I also threw some garlic salt and dried minced onion on.
Throw it in the oven and keep an eye on it.

You could cook the veggies in the crockpot and then assemble the quiche and bake it in the oven. You can steam-cook cakes and breads in a crockpot so if you want to try this here’s how.
Put a metal trivet in the bottom of your crockpot and add enough water so the level doesn’t quite reach the flat portion of the trivet. Cover the assembled quiche tightly with foil and place on the trivet. Cover the quiche with some kitchen towels to hold it steady and put on the crockpot cover. Cook on high setting for 2-3 hours.
