Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Remove excess moisture from the tofu and break it into chunks. In a blender, combine tofu, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, kala namak, turmeric, smoked paprika, and unsweetened plant milk. Blend until smooth.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent, then add baby spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine tofu mixture with sautéed vegetables and add sun-dried tomatoes and shelled pistachios. Mix until well incorporated.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry and cut out 12 discs. Fit them into a muffin pan.
  6. Fill each pastry cup with the tofu filling, leaving a small space at the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crusts are golden brown and filling has set.
  8. Allow the mini quiches to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
