Instructions
- Start by preparing the crust. Combine the the rice flour, buckwheat flour, chickpea flour, xanthan gum, salt and vegan butter in a large mixing bowl. Chop up the butter using a butter knife and combine well with the rest of the ingredients. Avoid using your hands at this point as this may melt the butter.
- Add the flax egg and ice cold water. Combine using the butter knife, then mix quickly using your hands until a dough forms. Leave to chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F and use this time to make the filling.
- Start by adding the tofu, plant based milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, cumin, turmeric, paprika and lemon juice to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth and no graininess remains.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant. Then, pour in the sauce and chickpea flour, and stir for 2-3 minutes to allow it to thicken.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out into a thin sheet, around ⅓ inch in thickness. Press into a quiche tin and trim around the edges. You can bake the excess dough to crumble on top of the finished quiche at the end. Poke a few rows of holes in the bottom of the pie.
- Pour in the tofu filling and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

Notes
- You can use a store-brought crust in order to save time, but it can be quite hard to find one that's both vegan and gluten-free.
- Avoid mixing the dough with your hands until all the ingredients are combined because this will risk melting the butter and result in a soggier dough.
- Add in any other veggies of your choice! For instance, zucchini and butternut squash work really well.
- You can make the crust ahead of time - for instance, the night before - and store it in the fridge until you're ready to make the filling.
- Serve on its own, or with a dipping sauce/a side salad/any other side dish of your choice.
