Best Ever Spinach Quiche image

This is the best quiche I have ever made. It is so versaitile. I have done spinach, ham, mushroom! You name it, it works. Great for an easy brunch. You can cut your pie crust with a biscuit cutter and bake mini quiches in a muffin tin for tea parties!

Okay, so I know the ingredient list and the directions seem really long, but let me assure you, it is not as difficult as it seems and it is oh so worth it! I served this quiche with a side of steamed cauliflower with a touch of vegan margarine.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (17 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and pressed for at least 30 minutes
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
1 medium sweet onion, finely diced
1 small zucchini, thin sliced
5 medium cremini mushrooms, thin sliced
1 tablespoon sherry wine (optional)
3 garlic cloves, sliced thin
6 -8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 tablespoon dried thyme
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon sea salt, depending on personal preference
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 deep dish pie shell (Marie Callender's is vegan)
butter-flavored cooking spray (make sure it's vegan!) (optional)
paprika

Steps:

  • First, drain the tofu, place in a flat bottom colander or a plate and put another plate on top with something heavy enough to gently press the tofu without smashing it--walk away and go about your business for at least a half hour. Now is also a good time to prep your veggies. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add the onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. Caramelize for about 10 minutes or so.
  • When nice and brown, add 1/2 tablespoon of salt and the sherry to deglaze and cook for another minute until dry.
  • Remove and place in a medium sized mixing bowl. In the same pan on medium heat, add the rest of the oil and sauté the garlic, basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes for about 3 minutes until the garlic is slightly golden but do not brown!
  • Pour garlic concoction into a food processor and crumble the drained tofu on top. Add the vinegar, lemon juice, and the rest of the salt. Puree until really smooth.
  • Add to the onion/shroom mixture in bowl.
  • Using the same pan once again, sauté the spinach until heated through. Once finished, squeeze all excess water out and add to the tofu mixture, stirring all ingredients together well.
  • Smooth down into the "butter" misted pie shell, dust with paprika, and bake for 35-45 minutes until crust is golden brown and tofu is somewhat firm.
