Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 14 ounces Firm tofu
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust (dairy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and thinly slice the zucchini. Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and sauté for another 5-7 minutes until just tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Crumble the tofu into a blender or food processor. Add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Transfer the tofu mixture to a large bowl and fold in the sautéed zucchini, onion, garlic, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. If using a pre-made crust, follow package instructions for preparation.

Step 8

Pour the filling evenly into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is firm and slightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
