Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2– 2 1/2 Tbsp of water
Quiche
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups cooked spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 package crimini mushrooms
- 1 package Firm tofu
- 1 tbsp tamari or soy
- 3 tbsp dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Salt/Pepper as needed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut the butter into cubes and use your (clean) hands to work the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that looks like a coarse meal with pieces of butter no bigger than a pea. Sprinkle water onto the flour mixture a little at a time, and work the dough with your hands until the dough can be formed into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 45-1 hour.
- When you are ready to roll out the dough, remove the disk from the refrigerator and let come to room temp for 10 minutes. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a diameter 2 inches wider than your pie or tart pan. Drape the rolled out dough over the pie or tart pan and press the dough into the sides of the pan. Trim and crimp the edges. Place in freezer for 30 minutes. (optional)
- Poke holes with a fork in the bottom of the pie crust for air to escape and bake on 350 for 10 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Filling: Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the pan. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened and tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach; cook, tossing constantly, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a large bowl.
- Combine the remaining ingredients, tofu, turmeric, dijon, soy, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and blend until smooth. Add additional turmeric to enrich the color if desired.
- Now fold this mixture into the mushrooms, onions, and spinach mixture.
- Place into the pre baked crust. Bake on 350 for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let completely cool. Slice and enjoy!
