VEGAN - SUN-DRIED TOMATO, MUSHROOM, AND SPINACH TOFU QUICHE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a round 10-inch tart pan. Alternatively, you can use a 9-inch glass pie dish if desired. 2. Wrap rinsed tofu in a few tea towels. Place a few books on top of it to lightly press out the water while you prepare the crust. 3. For the crust: Whisk together flax and water mixture in a small bowl and set aside so it can gel up. 4. In a large bowl, stir together the almond meal, oat flour (or buckwheat flour), parsley, oregano, and salt. 5. Add in the flax mixture and oil. Stir until mostly combined, adding the remaining water until the dough is sticky (about the consistency of cookie dough). The dough should stick together when you press it between your fingers. 6. Crumble the dough evenly over the base of the tart pan (or pie dish). Starting from the centre of the pan, press the mixture evenly into the pan, working your way outward and up the sides of the pan. Poke a few fork holes in the dough so air can escape. 7. Bake the crust at 350F for 13-16 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to touch. Set aside to cool while you finish preparing the filling. Increase oven temperature to 375F. 8. For the filling: Break apart the tofu block into 4 pieces and add into food processor. Process the tofu until smooth and creamy. If it doesn't get creamy, add a tiny splash of almond milk to help it along. 9. In a skillet, add oil and saute the leek (or onion) and garlic over medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt, and cook on medium-high heat until most of the water cooks off the mushrooms, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, nutritional yeast, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined. Cook until the spinach is wilted. 10. Finally, remove from heat and stir in the processed tofu until thoroughly combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if desired. Spoon mixture into baked crust and smooth out with a spoon until even. 11. Bake quiche, uncovered, at 375F for 33-37 minutes, until the quiche is firm to the touch. For best results, cool the quiche for 15-20 minutes on a cooling rack before attempting to slice. The crust may crumble slightly when sliced warm, but not to worry. 12. Wrap up leftovers and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Leftover quiche can be reheated in the oven on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes at 350F.

TOFU MUSHROOM "QUICHE"

Steps:

• Mix up the pie dough and when ready roll or press out to line a 9- or 10-inch tart pan. Set in the refrigerator to rest. Meanwhile place the dried mushrooms in a pyrex measuring cup and pour in 1 cup boiling water. Let sit for 20 minutes or longer. Set a strainer over a bowl, line it with cheesecloth or paper towels, and drain the mushrooms. Squeeze over the strainer to extract as much flavorful liquid as possible, rinse away any lingering sand, and chop medium-fine. Set aside. Measure out 1/3 cup of the mushroom broth.
• Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, and add a generous pinch of salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender and lightly colored, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to smell fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the fresh and dried mushrooms and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook, stirring or shaking the pan, until the mushrooms have begun to sweat and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender. If desired add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan. When the liquid has evaporated remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the tofu, soy sauce, miso, yeast extract, tahini and cayenne in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and blend the ingredients until smooth. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl, then process again. With the machine running add 1/3 cup of the mushroom broth and process until smooth. Scrape into a large bowl, add the cooked mushrooms and onions, and stir together.
• Brush the crust with the remaining olive oil and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and fill with the tofu mixture. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is a rich golden brown and the filling has set. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
