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
  • cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon organic cane sugar

Tofu Quiche

  • 14 oz firm silken tofu excess water squeezed out and patted dry
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 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.

Notes

  • I recommend using a removable tart pan for this recipe, but a pie dish also works.
  • Firm or extra-firm tofu is best. Squeeze the tofu block to remove all excess liquid before using.
  • The crust can be made ahead of time.
  • A food processor can be used if you don't have a blender.
  • Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner slices.
