Equipment
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon (90g) gluten-free oat flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon organic cane sugar
Tofu Quiche
- 14 oz firm tofu excess water squeezed out and patted dry
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice half of a lemon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray.
- Start with making the crust. Combine almond flour, oat flour, cane sugar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Add olive oil and water and stir until a dough forms. The dough should stay together when squeezed with your hands. If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time. If it seems too wet, add a little extra oat flour.
- Transfer crust dough to prepared pan, pressing into an even layer and halfway up the sides of pan. Make sure sides are evenly pressed.
- Bake for 15 minutes and then allow to cool. Set aside.
- Crumble the tofu with your hands as you add it to a blender. Then add almond milk, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, ground mustard, turmeric, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Due to the small amount of liquid, stop blender and scrape down sides as needed. Set aside.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic followed by spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
- Pour tofu mixture into the saucepan with the spinach mixture and fold in all ingredients.
- Transfer spinach tofu mixture to the prepared crust (Filling should be even with sides of crust, do not overfill). Bake for 34-38 minutes. The quiche filling should be set and a tester should only have a few crumbs.
- Allow quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Season with additional salt and pepper and/or hot sauce as desired.
