Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared vegan pie crust (9 inch), unbaked
  • 14 oz block firm tofu, pressed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Method
 

  1. Sauté onion in oil over medium heat for 2 minutes; add mushrooms and garlic, cook 3 minutes until dry. Add spinach, cook 1 minute to wilt. Cool.
  2. Blend tofu, milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and turmeric until completely smooth.
  3. Combine the sautéed vegetables with the tofu mixture by pulsing briefly or stirring by hand.
  4. Pour filling into the crust, smooth the top, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
  5. Cool 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Cooling the quiche before slicing helps the filling set firmly and gives you clean wedges.
