Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Vegan butter
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 medium Shallots, thinly sliced
• 250 grams Button or cremini mushrooms, chopped
• 300 grams Firm silken tofu
• 60 milliliters Plant-based milk (unsweetened)
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, fresh parsley, thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt. Add the vegan butter in small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until a dough forms. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

In the meantime, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the shallots until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the moisture evaporates and they are golden, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Remove the dough from the refrigerator, roll it out on a floured surface, and press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess dough and prick the base with a fork.

Step 7

Prebake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and set aside.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tofu mixture, sautéed mushrooms, shallots, and chopped chives. Mix well.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the prebaked crust and spread it evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden.

Step 11

Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
