Oil-Free Tofu Beet Quiche

This delicious plant-based quiche is gluten-free, oil-free, and full of seasonal flavor. Tofu takes the place of eggs and is blended with plenty of spices for flavor, plus fresh produce like beets, carrots, and spinach for a serving of veggies.

FOR THE CRUST:

• 2 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon peanut butter

1. First, using spoon and your hands, mix together the crust ingredients.
2. Next, press the crust batter into 6-inch springform cake tin and bake at 355°F for 10 minutes. Let cool.
3. While the crust is baking, steam the spinach or other leafy greens (chard, kale, turnip greens, collard greens).

6. Process all filling ingredients (except beet, carrot, rosemary, soy sauce, and spinach) into a batter. Then, mix in finely grated raw beet.
7. Top the crust with a layer of sautéed carrot and rosemary (drain any excess water).
   Next, add steamed and drained spinach.
8. Spread the tofu-beet mixture on top of spinach.
9. Finally, sprinkle some coarsely grated raw carrot and beet on top on the quiche.
10. Bake at 355°F for 55 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

NOTES

To save time and make the quiche a bit leaner, prepare it without crust, in which case place the carrot-spinach layer in the middle.
