What makes the quiche filling creamy and savory?

The filling's creamy texture comes from silken tofu, while organic shiro miso paste provides a rich, savory umami depth to the Savory Spinach Quiche.

Why add cashews to the quiche dough?

Ground cashews are incorporated into the dough to add a subtle nutty flavor and contribute to a tender, unique crust texture for this Savory Spinach Quiche.

Is it necessary to chill the dough for an hour?

Chilling the dough for an hour allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out and preventing shrinkage during baking, resulting in a flakier crust for your quiche.

How should I store leftover Savory Spinach Quiche?

Store any leftover quiche slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave for best results.

Can I use a different type of tofu for the filling?

Silken tofu is crucial for achieving the desired creamy, smooth texture of this quiche filling; other tofu types would result in a different, less ideal consistency.

How to Prepare Savory Spinach Quiche [Vegan]

Start off by making the dough. Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl (use a food processor to grind the cashews), and knead until the dough forms. Roll it into a ball, and wrap in cling film. Stick it in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
To make the quiche paste, combine all the ingredients together (except the onion). Season to taste with salt, and set aside.
After 1 hour, take out the dough from the fridge, and line a quiche tin with it. Make sure the dough is spread out evenly. Use a fork to poke a few holes on the bottom , and stick it in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and top with the tofu miso mix. Cut the onion into thin slices and use as topping.
Stick in the oven for 20 more minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 F. Let it bake for another 15 minutes.
Take the quiche out of the oven, and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. Remove from tin, cut, and serve!
