Ingredients

~3 medium-large potatoes ((grated // 3 potatoes yield ~3 cups grated))
2 Tbsp melted vegan butter ((or sub olive oil with varied results))
1/4 tsp each sea salt and black pepper
2 cups thinly sliced leeks ((thoroughly cleaned and dried // 2 small or 1 large leek yield ~2 cups // or sub 1 medium diced onion))
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes ((halved))
1 cup chopped broccoli
3 cloves garlic ((chopped))
1/4 tsp each sea salt and black pepper
12.3 ounces extra-firm silken tofu ((patted dry))
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
3 Tbsp hummus
1/4 tsp each sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

CRUST: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 C) and lightly spritz a 9.5-inch pie pan (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) with non-stick spray.
Grate potatoes and measure out 3 cups (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Then transfer to a clean towel and firmly squeeze out excess moisture. Add to pie dish and drizzle with melted vegan butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then use fingers to press into the pan and up the sides to form an even layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown all over. Set aside. When you take out the crust, lower oven heat to 400 degrees F (209 C).
VEGETABLES: Prep veggies and garlic and add to a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Place in the oven and bake until soft and golden brown (a total of 20-30 minutes). Set aside and lower oven heat to 375 degrees F (190 C).
FILLING: To prepare tofu filling, add drained tofu to a food processor with nutritional yeast, hummus, salt and pepper. Run the food processor on high until the filling is silky smooth. Set aside.
Remove veggies from oven, add to a mixing bowl, and top with the tofu mixture. Toss to coat, then add to the crust and spread into an even layer.
Bake quiche at 375 degrees F (190 C) for a total of 30-40 minutes or until the top appears golden brown and firm. If the crust begins to get too brown, loosely tent the edges with foil.
Let cool briefly, and then serve with fresh herbs or green onion.
Store leftovers loosely covered in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven.

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

Vegan - Sun-dried Tomato, Mushroom, and Spinach Tofu Quiche Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by BlueSchmoo

Number Of Ingredients 24

Ingredients

For the crust:
1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water, mixed together
1 cup whole almonds, ground into flour
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats or buckwheat groats, ground into flour
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
1-1.5 tbsp water, as needed
For the quiche:
1 block (14-oz) firm tofu
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 leek or yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
3 cups (8-oz) sliced cremini mushrooms
1/2 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1 cup baby spinach
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4-1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Black pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes, to taste

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.

Tips:

To make a flavorful and crispy quiche crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour, oat flour, and ground flaxseed. This blend provides a sturdy base for the quiche and adds a nutty flavor.
For the filling, choose a variety of vegetables that cook evenly, such as sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. These ingredients add vibrant colors, textures, and flavors to the quiche.
To achieve a creamy and flavorful eggless custard, use a combination of silken tofu, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and seasonings. Silken tofu provides a rich and smooth texture, while almond milk adds creaminess and nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor.
To prevent the quiche from becoming too watery, pre-cook the vegetables before adding them to the custard mixture. This helps remove excess moisture and ensures that the quiche sets properly.
For a golden brown and crispy top, brush the quiche with a mixture of olive oil and plant-based milk before baking. This creates a beautiful crust and adds a touch of richness.
