- In a large bowl combine the tofu mixture, 3 cups of vegan cheese, and the mushrooms and onions and stir to combine.
- Roll out the dough until it’s approximately ⅛“thick and place in a pie plate. Trim the edges and pinch the dough around the top of the plate.
- Pour the filling into the plate and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil or a pie crust protector if it begins to burn. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
