Before your next gathering, break out the mixing bowls and have some fun! By the time you start celebrating, you’ll know exactly which option best suits your party.
Without further ado, use this recipe as the roadmap you need for your very own mini vegan quiches.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 ounces of vegan butter
- 4 tablespoons of cold water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 1/2 cups of spinach
- 1 1/2 cups of tofu
- 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of pepper
Instructions:
- Begin this recipe by preparing your crust. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, cold water, and vegan butter (partially melted). Use a fork to press the mixture together into a thick, crumbly dough. If necessary, add a bit of extra water to loosen it up and make for easier mixing. Transfer the dough to a clean, floured area, and knead until it is a smooth, firm ball.
- Using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently flatten the dough into a disk, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator.
- After the dough has cooled for around thirty minutes, remove it from the fridge and divide it into even portions. Flatten it the rest of the way.
- Here comes the challenge! Using your fingers, gently line the inside cups of a muffin tin with your dough. It’s okay for this to be a little messy; it’s part of the fun.
- To set the crust, place the muffin tin in the oven for ten minutes. Remove it from the oven, but don’t lower the heat. Set the muffin tin aside and move on to the next step.
- In a pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Use your hands to tear the spinach into smaller pieces. Toss the spinach in the hot oil and continue cooking until it has wilted and partially cooked. Set this aside.
- In a blender, combine the tofu, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic, and all remaining seasonings.
- Add the spinach to the blender, but do not fully blend it. Instead, stir the spinach gently into the mixture and then pour it into the crust-lined cups.
- Bake the mini quiches for around thirty minutes. Keep an eye on the top, reducing the time if the top appears to be getting too brown.
- Allow these delicious treats to cool almost completely before enjoying every bite.
