Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F.
To make Whole Wheat Flax Crust: Mix pastry flour, flaxseed and salt (optional) together. Stir oil and plant-based milk in with a fork to make a stiff dough.
Pat the dough into a 10-inch pie or quiche baking dish. Pierce all over with a fork and bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
While crust is baking, prepare Vegetable Filling: Heat olive oil in large sauté pan and sauté onions and garlic for 4 minutes.
Add asparagus and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in dill, black pepper, and dry mustard. Remove from heat.
Place tofu, ½ cup plant-based milk, red pepper, nutmeg, turmeric, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and salt (optional) in the container of a blender and puree until smooth.
Stir tofu mixture into asparagus mixture and combine well. Pour into the par-baked crust and return to oven (375 F).
Bake for 30 minutes.
Prepare Topping by assembling cherry tomato halves; in a small dish mix together breadcrumbs, dill, and 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Remove quiche from oven, top with sliced cherry tomatoes (cut side up) and sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs and return to oven for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, cool for about 5-10 minutes, and slice into 8 servings.
