Vegan Veggie Quiche

• Instructions

For the crust:

• In a large mixing bowl, start by mixing dry ingredients (flour and salt). 
• Start adding in vegan butter. Incorporate using your hands. You want the end product to have a sand-like texture. 
• Next, add in as much cold water as needed, in order to make a dough. Add a little bit at a time. 
• Once you have formed a nice dough (don't mix it too much), you can roll it out on a large surface. You can use flour to make sure it doesn't stick to your rolling device, or the surface. 
• Place rolled dough into a pie pan (alternatively you can use a cake pan, or something of that nature). 
• Cut off whatever pieces might be hanging off, and make sure dough is securely placed in the pan. 
• Put it into the fridge for about 15 minutes. 
• Preheat oven to 375. 
• Once heated, put your raw crust into the oven for about 5–7 minutes. 
• Once pre-baked, take out your crust and let it sit for at least 5 minutes before putting anything into it. 
• For the filling: 
• In a blender, start by blending tofu while adding plant-milk gradually. 
• Once blended until smooth, add in the rest of the ingredients. 
• It's that simple!

For the veggies:

• Start by sautéing small-medium cut onions in a couple of Tbsp olive oil, in a frying pan on medium heat. 
• Add in minced garlic, followed by sliced mushrooms. 
• Cook in frying pan for about 10 minutes.
• Turn off heat, and add in the minced dill into the mixture. 
• In a large bowl, fold in your veggie mixture into the tofu "egg" mixture. 
• Don't worry we haven't forgotten the cherry tomatoes! These don't get pre-cooked. 
• Add in half of your cherry tomatoes into the mixture. The other half will be used on top. 
• Pour "egg" veggie mixture into the pre-cooked and cooled crust. 
• Sprinkle remaining cherry tomatoes on top. 

Baking:

• Preheat oven to 375. 
• Bake quiche in oven for 45 minutes, but you may need up to an hour. 
• Check on the quiche after 30 minutes. Stick a knife into the center of the quiche and see if it comes out clean. 
• Continue to do this every 5 minutes, or so, until the knife comes out clean, and then take it out of the oven. 
• Let cook for at least 15 minutes before serving, although it's best if you wait until 30 minutes (or more) because the quiche needs time to cool and solidfy. It will still be amazing even if you don't have the patience to wait!
• Lastly, top the quiche with some micro-greens to add some color, a little extra nutrients, and cause why not?
• Finally- enjoy!
