Vegan Asparagus Quiche
A savory pie filled with asparagus, tofu, and herbs, baked until golden. This dish is a delightful option for brunch or light dinner.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
-
Step 2
On the cutting board, use the chef's knife to dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and cut the asparagus into 2 cm pieces. Place the tofu in the mixing bowl, press it firmly until no excess liquid remains, then crumble it.
-
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, then sauté the yellow onion, garlic, and asparagus for 7–8 minutes until the onion softens and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
-
Step 4
Add the crumbled pressed tofu, soy milk, nutritional yeast, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the blender and blend until smooth and thick.
-
Step 5
Transfer the blended tofu mixture to the mixing bowl, add the sautéed vegetables, and combine until the asparagus is evenly distributed.
-
Step 6
Spoon the filling into the vegan pie crust fitted in the 23 cm pie dish and smooth the surface. Bake in the oven at 190°C for 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set with only a slight wobble.
-
Step 7
Remove the pie dish from the oven and let the quiche rest for 10 minutes; the filling should firm up enough to slice cleanly.
