Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (9 inch) unbaked 9 inch pie crust
½ pound spinach, rinsed and chopped
½ pound red Swiss chard, rinsed and chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 small oyster mushrooms, chopped
2 teaspoons capers
1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu, cubed
¼ cup skim milk
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cardamom
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onions and garlic. When onions become transparent add spinach and chard. Stir in curry powder, parsley, salt and pepper. Saute until spinach and chard reduce, then add mushrooms and capers. Stir and remove from heat.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine tofu, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and Parmesan cheese. Process until smooth and creamy. Pour over vegetables and mix well. Transfer mixture to the pie crust.

I've made this quiche several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is creamy and flavorful. I love that it's a vegetarian dish that's still packed with protein and nutrients.
