Fit the crust into the pie dish. Line it with parchment paper and fill it with baking weights.

Step 3
Set the pie dish on the hot baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights, then bake for 5 minutes more.

Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook until tender and their released moisture has evaporated.

Add the garlic and spinach to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the spinach is wilted and excess moisture has evaporated, then remove from the heat.

Step 6
Blend the tofu, plant milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and turmeric until smooth.

Step 7
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly in the crust. Pour the tofu filling over them and smooth the top.

Step 8
Bake at 190°C until the edges are firm and the center has only a slight wobble.

Transfer the quiche to a wire rack and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
