Ingredients

• 14 ounces Firm tofu
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened plant-based milk
• 0.33 cups Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 cups Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Kala namak (black salt)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups Your choice of vegetables (e.g., spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, zucchini)
• 1 9-inch crust Vegan pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the pressed tofu, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, olive oil, garlic powder, turmeric powder, kala namak, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Prepare your chosen vegetables. Wash, chop, and sauté them lightly in a skillet over medium heat if needed to remove excess moisture (e.g., for mushrooms or spinach).

Step 5

Place the vegan pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish if not pre-assembled. Poke the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Step 6

Spread your sautéed or raw vegetables evenly on the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 7

Pour the tofu mixture over the vegetables, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure all vegetables are coated.

Step 8

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes to set before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
