Ingredients

Dough:

1 cup 100 g flour
½ cup 50 g almond flour
3 tablespoon + ¼ tsp 50 g almond butter
3 tablespoon + 1 ¼ tsp 50 g cold water
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Filling:

26.4 oz 750 g leek (4-5 leeks)
¾ cup 40 g tomatoes, dried and soaked
braise in some water

Sauce:

Pepper
Nutmeg freshly grated
1 teaspoon thyme
½ cup 120 g soft tofu (cut into ½” cubes when you use cups to measure)
⅓ cup 50 g cashews
⅔ cup 150 g water
2 tablespoon tapioca starch
¼ cup 15 g nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon lemon juice

Topping

Fresh herbs
Vegan Parmesan
Pine nuts

Instructions

First knead all the ingredients for the shortcrust pastry in a mixing bowl. The dough should be like that of crumble and should not be a smooth dough.
Now prepare a spring form pan and spread out the dough. I press the dough into the mold. Bake the dough for about 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Soak the cashews and sun-dried tomatoes separately.
Cut the leek into thin strips and braise them with the finely chopped dried tomatoes in a little water.
Place the drained cashews and the remaining ingredients for the sauce in a high-performance mixer and mix until a creamy sauce without pieces is created.
Now spread the leek in the pan on top of the bowl and pour the sauce over it. Bake the quiche at 350°F (180°C) for about 20-30 minutes.
You can optionally garnish the quiche with roasted pine nuts, fresh herbs and vegan parmesan.
