How to Prepare Sun-Dried Tomato Olive and Veggie Quiche [Vegan]

For the quiche:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Flour your work surface and remove your pre-made pie dough from the refrigerator.
Roll out your pie dough until it is just larger than the circumference of your pie dish.
Roll the dough onto your rolling pin and then gently lay the dough over and into your pie dish. Press the sides and edges of the dough into the tin before cutting off any excess. You can use the excess dough to fill in any thin or patchy spots.
Cover your pie dough with a piece of parchment paper and fill the parchment paper with baking beans or uncooked beans.
Bake this pie dough for 12 minutes while you prep your other ingredients.
Prep all your veggies.
In a pan on medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and begin frying your onions.
Once your onions are fragrant add in your mushrooms and garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture – about 5-7 minutes.
Add the remainder of your veggies (except your green onions) to the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes before removing from the heat.
In a blender or food processor add your tofu, chickpea flour, almond milk, olive oil, spices, and baking powder – blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Try to avoid adding excess moisture to this mixture as you blend.
In a large bowl mix together the cooked vegetables (and green onions) and your blended tofu mixture.
Pour this mixture into your pre-baked pie crust and preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bake this quiche for 30 minutes or until the top looks slightly browned and cracked.
Allow to cool for another 30 minutes before serving.
Bon appétit!
This recipe will keep in the fridge for a week if stored in proper containers.
