How to Make Diz's Best Spinach Quiche Ever Vegan
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup vegan butter (cold and cubed). Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ¼ cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: While the dough chills, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened. Add 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped) and cook until wilted. Stir in 1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), ½ cup nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Roll out the chilled dough and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Pour the spinach and chickpea mixture into the pie crust.
- Whisk together 1 ½ cups plant-based milk, 2 large eggs (vegan), and ¼ cup nutritional yeast for the custard. Pour the custard evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with steamed cauliflower and vegan margarine!
