(That last part didn't come from me...)

 

 

Ingredients

Setup

  • Olive oil spritz
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • ¾ C mushrooms, chopped fine
  • 1/4 C sundried tomatoes, chopped fine
  • 3 TBS fresh basil, chopped fine
  • 1 package of firm silken tofu (light is optional)
  • 1/4 C either soy, almond or coconut milk beverage, plain and unsweetened
  • 1/8 C nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 C raw cashews
  • Scant of onion powder, turmeric, dried oregano, salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.  Spray a regular sized muffin tin with non-stick spray or use muffin liners.  Spray a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and begin to sauté the garlic and mushrooms.  After about 3-4 minutes the mushrooms will begin to wilt, then add the sundried tomatoes, just to soften them up a bit.  Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.  Add in the basil, toss to coat all ingredients and remove from heat. 

In a high speed blender, add the tofu through the spices and blend until smooth.  Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and gently mix thoroughly.  Using a small ladle, scoop the mixture into each muffin cup liner about ½ of the way up.  Bake the quiches for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Allow to cool for about five minutes before releasing from pan. 

After cooling completely, these will keep for five days in a sealed container, refrigerated.
