Instructions
Dairy-Free Pie Crust:
-
Combine salt and flour in a bowl. Cut shortening into the salt and flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until it is well-combined.
-
Add water, then stir with a spoon until the mixture clings together in a ball. The dough may be slightly moist. If the dough is too dry or moist add additional water or flour as needed. Don’t overmix.
-
You should see thin swirls of shortening throughout the dough. Lightly dust your rolling surface with flour, and roll the dough out as desired.
-
To transfer the crust from the rolling surface to the pie pan, fold the crust in half twice. Lift and unfold crust over the pie pan.
Quiche:
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Place a prepared unbaked pie crust in an un-greased pie plate. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust, and bake it for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
-
Add onions, chopped red peppers, and asparagus, and saute for 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the asparagus is cooked. Remove from heat.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, baking powder, rice or almond milk, salt, paprika, thyme, chipotle powder, and black pepper.
-
Stir in the sauteed vegetables and fresh spinach, and stir until well combined.
-
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the partially baked pie crust, and use a spoon to even out the top. Place in oven and cook for 45 to 50 minutes.
-
Quiche will rise while baking but should settle back down once you remove it from the oven. Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to set for at least 5 minutes. Then slice and serve immediately.
