Ingredients (3 servings)
MetricImperial
400g firm tofu, pressed
100g spinach
150g cooked kabocha squash
100g cherry tomatoes
100g red bell pepper
120g zucchini
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp non dairy milk (optional)
-Salt, to taste
-Pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
- Add pressed tofu, dried oregano, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper into your food processor and process until it turns into a smooth paste. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of non dairy milk at a time as required to assist with blending.
- Slice zucchini and red bell pepper.
- Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, zucchini, spinach and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook briefly for 5 minutes to get rid of some of the moisture in the vegetables so that they don't sweat and make your quiche watery in the oven.
- Add zucchini, spinach and red bell pepper to tofu mixture and mix until combined. In a quiche pan or baking dish, add cooked kabocha squash, then pour tofu mixture over it. Top with cherry tomatoes.
- Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until set.
- Serve hot with salad greens or roasted potatoes!
Notes
- Feel free to add some eggs if you're vegetarian.
- Nutritional yeast adds cheesy flavor with additional vitamins. Feel free to substitute it with dairy cheese.
- Make sure squash or pumpkin is cooked before adding it in the dish as it produces moisture when cooked especially if its not kabocha squash.
- Use your favorite vegetables! Broccoli, cauliflower and artichokes are great too!
