In order to make the perfect quiche you need to work on the crust and the filling separately.

To make the crust:

• Whisk together flax and water mixture in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the almond and oatmeal flour with parsley, oregano, and salt.
• Add the flax paste with oil to our mixture. Stir until mostly combined, adding the remaining water making a sticky dough. To check the consistency of the dough, press it between fingers, it is perfect if it sticks between your fingers.
• Crumble the dough evenly over the base of dish. Starting from the centre, press the mixture evenly into the pan, spreading it outwards and upwards on the edges of pan.
• Poke a few holes in the dough for the air to escape.
• Bake the crust for 13-16 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to touch. Set aside to cool while you finish preparing the filling.

To make filling:

• Process the block of tofu until smooth and creamy. If it doesn't get creamy, add a tiny splash of almond milk to help it along.
• In a bowl, add oil and stir onion and garlic over medium heat for a few minutes. Add mushrooms, and season with salt. Continue cooking on medium-high heat until most of the water cooks off the mushrooms. Stir in the herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, nutritional yeast, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined. Stir until spinach is cooked.
• Add the processed tofu and spoon the mixture into baked crust and smooth out with a spoon until even. Bake quiche at 375F for 40 minutes, until the quiche is firm to the touch.
