Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drain the water from the tofu and break it into a few large chunks. Place them in a food processor, or high speed blender.
- Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, and kala mamak (or regular salt). Blend until smooth. If thee mixture is too thick, you can add a bit if water or plant based milk to thin it out.
- Add the baby spinach and vegan cheese shreds, if using, and briefly pulse the food processor to incorporate them without fully pureeing.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth it out evenly. Bake 35 minutes, or until the top begins to brown and the filling firms up.
- Serve at room temperature. I like mine with salsa or hot sauce!

Notes
- You may use a store-bought crust or homemade crust. Many brands are accidentally vegan - just check the label.
- I also added some tofu bacon to my quiche in the pictures above. You can learn how to make tofu bacon here. See the article above for more creative quiche mix-in ideas.
