Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup red wine
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• ¼ cup Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• ⅛ cup vegetable oil
• 1 medium sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach, cut into strips
• 1 (9 inch) vegan pie crust
• 1 ½ pounds extra-firm tofu, cubed, or more to taste
• ¼ cup arrowroot
• 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange pie crust in a 9- or 10-inch pie plate.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and center is set, about 45 minutes. Cool quiche completely before slicing.
