Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Small Yellow Onion, diced

1 Clove garlic, minced

1 Small Broccoli Crown, cut into small florets

1 Package Firm Tofu

3 Tablespoons Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning

⅓ Cup Plant Milk of Choice

½ Cup Shredded Vegan Cheddar Cheese

1 Frozen Store-Bought Gluten-Free Pie Shell, thawed

¼ Teaspoon Turmeric

1 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Pinch Red Pepper Flakes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375℉.

2. Add the oil to a pan over medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic, broccoli, and pinch of red pepper flakes. Continue to cook until broccoli has softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.

3. In a food processor, add tofu, nutritional yeast, milk, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Process until mixture is blended and smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides down a few times. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with cooked veggies and add in ¼ cup of vegan cheddar cheese. Mix ingredients together.

4. Add the mixture to the pie shell. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup cheese, and bake for 30 minutes — until the filling is set, and the crust is golden brown. 

5. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
