Equipment

  • Measuring cups
  • Food processor
  • Rolling pin
  • 9” pie pan
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Pot
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 c all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp organic sugar
  • ¼ c coconut oil
  • ¼ cup water

Filling

  • 1 package firm Tofu
  • 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • ½ tsp Turmeric
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Almond Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion diced
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • 1 tsp Garlic minced
  • 2 c Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 c Baby Spinach chopped
  • ½ c Parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar to a food processor and mix until completely combined. Next, add the coconut oil and process until the texture is crumbly.  Finally, add the water and process into a dough. The texture should be moist and flexible.
  • Dust the countertop or a large cutting board with flour. Place the ball of dough on top of the flour-coated surface. Roll it out into a giant round that can fit over your 9-inch pie dish.
  • Carefully lift the dough, placing it over the pie dish. Press and tuck it along the sides and remove any excess dough hanging over the sides of the dish. Place the pie crust into the fridge to chill.
  • Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water while you are prepping the vegetables. Wash and chop the vegetables accordingly. When this step is completed, preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
  • Add the tofu, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt into the food processor, processing until well mixed (about 1 minute). Add the almond milk and process again (for about 20 seconds) until it reaches a smooth consistency. Set aside.
  • Add the olive oil to a pot along with the chopped onion and crushed garlic and sauté on medium heat until the onions are softened and translucent. Add the mushrooms and peppers to sauté with the onions until the mushrooms are softened. Finally, add the chopped baby spinach and parsley, sautéing until just wilted.
  • Layer the filling on top of the prepared pie crust and smooth it down evenly. Place it into the oven and bake uncovered for 40 minutes until firm and golden on top.
  • When the quiche is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

Sugar

Not all sugars are vegan. Refined cane sugar (also known as table sugar) is processed using animal bone char, making it not vegan friendly.  Vegan sugars are unrefined and include an organic cane, beet, coconut sugar, and raw sugar.

Dairy

Milk and cheese are key ingredients found in traditional quiche recipes. There are plenty of vegan alternatives to choose from, especially when it comes to plant-based milks. If you aren’t an almond milk fan, any type of vegan milk can be used for this dairy-free quiche recipe.
Vegan cheeses are also relatively easy to find. Cheddar-style plant-based cheese is available from many brands like Daiya, 365, Follow Your Heart, Violife, and more. If you fancy cheese in your quiche, feel free to add it into the mix before baking.
