Ingredients

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 349g Mori-Nu Lite Firm Silken Tofu, excess water drained and chopped
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/3 cup Bob’s Nutritional Yeast
- ½ salt

Procedure
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F. Pre-cook the pie crust for 10 minutes.
- Heat olive oil and sauté onion and green onion in a large pan on medium heat. Add a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes. When the veggies are browned, then add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Add the spinach, cherry tomatoes shitake mushroom, stir and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to let it cool down.
- In a blender, combine the tofu, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and salt.
- Remove the blender from its base and add the spinach-mushroom mixture to it. Stir to combine using a long spoon (do not blend!). Then, transfer the creamy spinach mixture over the pre-baked crust. Make sure the spinach is well distributed.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Add shredded Daiya Cheese Monterey Style Jack on top of the mini quiche in the last 10-15 minutes.
- Then, let the quiche set at least for 20 minutes at room temperature before serving. Gently torch the exposed vegetables by waving the flame across the surface for added flavor.
