Ingredients

PANTRY ITEMS

1x Vegan quiche base

3 cups cashews, soaked (30 mins boiling water, 4 hours cool water)

1/2 cup nutritional savoury flakes

Half a pumpkin

2x red onions

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Balsamic vinegar

1x cup finely sliced fresh basil

1x tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary

2x tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme

Handful of pine nuts

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup water

NUTRA ORGANICS PRODUCTS

2 tbsp Vegetable Broth Garden Veggie

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180C

2. Grease a 20x5 baking dish and place your vegan quiche base inside before blind baking as per instructions.

3. Slice your pumpkin into crescents, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt on top, turn to ensure pieces are coated before placing them on another baking dish and roasting in the oven for 20 minutes. (You don't want your pumpkin to burn, just become nice and tender so that it will finish cooking when once you've assembled your quiche).

4. While your pumpkin is baking slice your onions and caramelise over a low heat with a dash of balsamic vinegar and salt.

5. To make the Cashew Cream Cheese filling, add cashews, Vegetable Broth, garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, vegan nutritional savoury flakes, lemon juice, water and salt to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Taste, and adjust the salt if needed and add more water if a runnier consistency is desired. Add basil, rosemary, thyme and mix by hand until combined.

6. Smear your caramelized onion onto the quiche base, spoon in your cashew cream cheese and carefully place your pumpkin crescents. Top with herbs.

7. Bake quiche for 15 minutes then sprinkle with pine nuts and return to the oven until nuts are golden.
