how to make Vegan Quiche

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
• ½ tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp White Granulated Sugar
• ¼ cup Coconut Oil (Solid)
• 4 Tbsp Ice Water
• 14 ounces Firm Tofu
• 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
• ¼ tsp Turmeric
• ½ tsp Onion Powder
• ¾ tsp Garlic Powder
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black Salt (Kala Namak)
• 2 Tbsp Soy Milk
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Medium Onion (White, Yellow, or Brown, Chopped)
• 1 tsp Crushed Garlic
• 2 ½ cups Cremini Mushrooms (Sliced)
• 3 cups Baby Spinach (Chopped)

Directions:

1. Prepare The Pie Crust: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Add the solid coconut oil and combine it with your fingers to create a crumbly texture. Slowly add ice water until the dough forms. Press the dough into a pie dish, cover it, and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat The Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. Prepare The Filling: While the crust is chilling, drain the tofu and crumble it into a large bowl. Add cornstarch, nutritional yeast, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black salt, and soy milk. Mix until smooth.

4. Cook The Vegetables: In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and crushed garlic, cooking until softened. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices. Finally, stir in the chopped spinach until wilted.

5. Combine Filling And Bake: Add the cooked vegetables to the tofu mixture and stir well. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the quiche is firm and golden brown.

6. Cool And Serve: Once done, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut into slices and serve warm.

7. Equipments List: Mixing bowls, pie dish, frying pan, spatula, and oven.
