Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Vegan pie crust
- 400 grams Extra-firm tofu
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened plant-based milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 150 grams Spinach
- 150 grams Mushrooms
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the store-bought or homemade vegan pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork. Prebake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Crumble it into a food processor.
Add plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set the tofu mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until softened. Then, stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside for assembly.
Combine the tofu mixture with the cooked vegetables, stirring gently to evenly distribute.
Pour the combined mixture into the prebaked pie crust, smoothing the top evenly. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top, pressing them slightly into the filling.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is firm and lightly golden.
Allow the quiche to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped chives if desired and serve.
