Best Vegan Tofu Quiche Recipes

VEGAN - SUN-DRIED TOMATO, MUSHROOM, AND SPINACH TOFU QUICHE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a round 10-inch tart pan. Alternatively, you can use a 9-inch glass pie dish if desired. 2. Wrap rinsed tofu in a few tea towels. Place a few books on top of it to lightly press out the water while you prepare the crust. 3. For the crust: Whisk together flax and water mixture in a small bowl and set aside so it can gel up. 4. In a large bowl, stir together the almond meal, oat flour (or buckwheat flour), parsley, oregano, and salt. 5. Add in the flax mixture and oil. Stir until mostly combined, adding the remaining water until the dough is sticky (about the consistency of cookie dough). The dough should stick together when you press it between your fingers. 6. Crumble the dough evenly over the base of the tart pan (or pie dish). Starting from the centre of the pan, press the mixture evenly into the pan, working your way outward and up the sides of the pan. Poke a few fork holes in the dough so air can escape. 7. Bake the crust at 350F for 13-16 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to touch. Set aside to cool while you finish preparing the filling. Increase oven temperature to 375F. 8. For the filling: Break apart the tofu block into 4 pieces and add into food processor. Process the tofu until smooth and creamy. If it doesn't get creamy, add a tiny splash of almond milk to help it along. 9. In a skillet, add oil and saute the leek (or onion) and garlic over medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt, and cook on medium-high heat until most of the water cooks off the mushrooms, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, nutritional yeast, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined. Cook until the spinach is wilted. 10. Finally, remove from heat and stir in the processed tofu until thoroughly combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if desired. Spoon mixture into baked crust and smooth out with a spoon until even. 11. Bake quiche, uncovered, at 375F for 33-37 minutes, until the quiche is firm to the touch. For best results, cool the quiche for 15-20 minutes on a cooling rack before attempting to slice. The crust may crumble slightly when sliced warm, but not to worry. 12. Wrap up leftovers and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Leftover quiche can be reheated in the oven on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes at 350F.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add carrot, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Combine tofu and cashews in a blender and process. Add basil and pulse to combine. Add to the skillet with the vegetables and stir. Pour vegetable-tofu mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 30 minutes.

VEGAN TOFU QUICHE

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.

VERSATILE VEGAN TOFU QUICHE (EVEN THE CRUST IS VEGAN)

Steps:

• To make the crust, whisk the flour, salt, and onion powder together in a large bowl.
• Cut in the Earth Balance (assuming you used a new stick and have a 6-tablespoon stick now) little by little, as if you're whittling off pieces, into the bowl.
• Stir in the olive oil and a little soymilk and knead by hand. Add soymilk as needed to make the dough gather together, and form the dough into a compact ball.
• Roll out onto a sheet of parchment paper. To make peeling it off easier, pop in the freezer for a few minutes.
• Lightly grease a 9" pie pan with a little olive oil, about 1 teaspoon or so.
• Roll the dough into the pan, crimping the edges at the top with a fork. Poke some holes in the bottom and sides with the fork to aerate.
• Bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned, extract from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
• Wash the spinach or broccoli and run through a food chopper or processor/blender to get the finely chopped consistency, until you have roughly 1 cup.
• Wash the mushrooms and slice them.
• Put the tofu and soymilk into a large bowl, and beat with a hand mixer.
• Beat in the dry spices and nutritional yeast.
• Add the spinach and mushrooms, and whisk in by hand.
• Pour the tofu filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
• Bake at 400F for 40-45 minutes or until the top is browned. Let cool for 10-15 minutes prior to serving (or else the tofu will make a watery mess!) Cut into slices and serve. I like to eat mine with some extra nutritional yeast and black pepper!
