Shopping List:

• 200g vegan butter/margarine
• 200g plain flour
• 200g tofu
• sprinkle of nutritional yeast
• roughly 150g of vegan cheese
• mixed Italian herbs
• pepper
• splash of soy milk (or other plant milk)
• 1 onion
• mushrooms, spinach (or any other veg you would like)

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Use your fingers to rub together butter and flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Press the breadcrumbs together into a thick ball of dough. Flatten your dough and press into an oven-safe dish, ensuring that you have a thick base that curves up the side of your dish, depending on how deep you want your quiche. Put your party in the oven for 10 minutes. Whilst this is cooking, start preparing the filling. Roughly chop an onion and fry off until transparent, but not brown. Put tofu, nutritional yeast, pepper, Italian herbs, cheese and milk into a food processor and blend until creamy. Add onions, chopped mushrooms and spinach and blend until well combined. When your pastry is firm, but still pale (not golden yet), remove it from the oven and add your filling. Sprinkle nutritional yeast, pepper and prated cheese on top. Put back in the oven for 30-40 minutes until pastry is golden and filling is well cooked and solid. Leave to cool before eating.
