Ingredients
  

For the shortcrust pastry:

  • 250 g flour
  • 125 g vegan margarine cut into small pieces
  • A pinch of salt
  • 60 ml cold water

For the filling:

  • 200 g fresh spinach
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 200 ml soy cream or other vegan cream
  • 100 g silken tofu
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon chickpea flour or other flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of nutmeg
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Preparing the shortcrust pastry:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
  • Add the margarine pieces and mix with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Gradually add the cold water while mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preparing the filling:

  • Wash and drain the spinach. Heat a pan with a bit of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Drain well to remove excess liquid.
  • In a bowl, mix the soy cream, silken tofu, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the cooked spinach and mix well.

Preparing the mini quiches:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles to fit the mini quiche or muffin tins.
  • Line the tins with the pastry circles and prick the bottom with a fork.
  • Fill each pastry shell with the spinach filling.
  • Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the mini quiches are golden and the filling is set.

Serving:

  • Let the quiches cool slightly before removing them from the tins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
