Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Vegan pie crust
• 2 large Leeks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 14 ounces Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Carefully wash the leeks to remove any grit. Trim the roots and dark green parts, then slice the leeks into thin rounds.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and slightly golden, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the firm tofu, nutritional yeast, almond milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, and chickpea flour. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the cooked leeks to the tofu mixture, folding them in gently with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the vegan pie crust onto a baking sheet. Pour the leek-tofu mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly browned around the edges.

Step 8

Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
