Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Place the tofu on a plate lined with paper towels and cover it with additional paper towels. Press to remove excess water for about 10 minutes.
While the tofu is draining, clean and slice the mushrooms into thin pieces and chop the onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring to prevent burning.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Crumble the pressed tofu into small pieces with your hands and add it to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Stir in the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to create a creamy filling. Remove from heat and set aside.
Roll out the pie crust (if necessary) and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and gently press the dough into the dish.
Pour the mushroom-tofu filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
