Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅛ cup vegetable oil
1 medium sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach, cut into strips
¼ cup red wine
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 (9 inch) vegan pie crust
1 ½ pounds extra-firm tofu, cubed, or more to taste
¼ cup arrowroot
¼ cup nutritional yeast
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons agar-agar powder

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; saute onion for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring regularly, for another 5 minutes. Cover pot between stirs. Add spinach, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and liquid smoke. Stir briefly, cover the pot, and remove from heat. Let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange pie crust in a 9- or 10-inch pie plate.
  • Combine tofu, arrowroot, nutritional yeast, olive oil, mustard, and agar powder in a food processor; blend into a uniformly thick paste. Mix into the mushroom mixture to form a more liquid paste. Pour and scrape mixture into the pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and center is set, about 45 minutes. Cool quiche completely before slicing.

I'm not a huge fan of tofu, but I really enjoyed this quiche. The tofu was well-seasoned and it didn't have that beany flavor that I sometimes find in tofu dishes. I would definitely make this again.

This quiche was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I had some broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms that I needed to use up, and they were all perfect in this quiche. It was a delicious and easy meal.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown properly. I think I might have needed to pre-bake it for a bit longer. Other than that, the quiche was delicious and I would definitely make it again.
