Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour plus more for dusting your work surface
  • ¾ teaspoon cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup solid coconut oil
  • ¼ cup ice water

Filling

  • teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced leeks
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup broccoli chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup roughly chopped mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup spinach
  • cups extra-firm tofu
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk unsweetened plain
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper plus more for garnish
  • ¼ teaspoon Indian black salt optional

Instructions

  • Begin by making the pie crust. Prepare the ice water by either chilling the water ahead of time or adding a few ice cubes to the water. Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor and blend for a few seconds to combine. Add the coconut oil and pulse a few times to cut in the oil. Run the food processor and slowly pour in the water. Blend until the mixture is well-combined. You should have a nice dough that is just slightly sticky.
  • Gently flour a clean work surface and transfer the dough ball to the surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out a nice circle to fit the shape of a standard pie pan. Lightly grease the pie pan with coconut oil and place the dough into the pan. You can pinch the edges to create a nice design, or leave it plain. Set aside.
  • Heat a large pan with the coconut oil and add the leeks and garlic. Sautee for about 3 minutes. Add the broccoli, mushrooms, rosemary, and salt and sauté for about 15 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked nicely.
  • Add the spinach and cook it for a couple of minutes until it is just wilted. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Add all of the rest of the ingredients to a blender and blend until well-combined. The mixture won’t be perfectly smooth. This adds nice texture to the quiche.
  • Transfer the tofu mixture to the pan with the veggies and mix until just combined. Pour the quiche filling into the crust and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake the quiche in the center rack of your oven for 28-30 minutes, until the edges of the crust are golden brown. Remove the quiche from the oven and slice and serve immediately.
