How to Prepare Tofu Mushroom Quiche [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a round 10-inch tart pan with coconut or olive oil.
Mix flax and water mixture in a small bowl and set aside to gel up.
Place almonds and oats into a food processor and blend until you have a flour mixture and add all the remaining dry crust ingredients.
Add in the flax mixture and oil. Stir until mostly combined, adding few tablespoons of water until the dough is sticky. The dough should stick together when you press it between your fingers.
Press the mixture evenly into the greased pan.
Bake the crust at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to touch. Set aside to cool. Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
Process tofu until smooth and creamy. You might need to add non-dairy milk or water.
In a skillet, add oil or water and sauté the diced onion and garlic over medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook on medium-high heat about 10 minutes. Stir in the herbs, spinach, olives, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper, until combined. Cook until the spinach is wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in the processed tofu until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste. Spoon mixture into baked crust and smooth out.
Bake quiche at 375°F for 30 minutes, until the quiche is firm to the touch. Let the tofu quiche cool before cutting. Serve.
