Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Vegan pie crust
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 14 oz Firm tofu
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil water in a pot, add the broccoli florets, and blanch them for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine firm tofu, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, and unsweetened almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion; sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add blanched broccoli florets to the skillet with onions and garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in turmeric powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika into the skillet, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
Remove skillet from heat and fold the vegetable mixture into the tofu-cashew blend in the blender.
Pour the filling into the vegan pie crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is firm and lightly golden.
Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
