How to Prepare Potato and ‘Cheddar’ Quiche [Vegan]

  1.   Add all the crust ingredients, except the vodka, and pulse them until the butter's well dispersed.
  2. Then drizzle in the vodka. At this point turn the machine on and let it run for 10-20 seconds. If the dough sticks together, skip the milk step. If not, add a bit of milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it sticks together.
  3. Put the dough on a floured board and roll it until you have the desired size.
  4. Lay this into a pre-sprayed pan.
  5. Set it aside and get into the filling stage.
  6. Pre-roast your potatoes at 425°F with olive oil, salt, and vinegar for about 30 minutes or until well they're browned on both sides.
  7. You'll also want to pre-cook the pepper, onions and garlic. Mince these well and sauté for about 5 minutes over medium heat. For the tofu filling, add the remaining ingredients and spices (except cheese) to your food processor and run it until smooth.
  8. Now layer the potatoes, tofu filling, veggies, and cheese as you see fit. The specific layers don't matter.
  9. When it's ready, stick the whole thing in the oven at 375°F for 40 minutes or until the crust's edges are browning and the filling looks bubbly, especially in the middle.
  10. Rack it to cool and serve it hot, warm, cool, or cold.
