Vegan Green Chile Tofu Pie 

Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 Tbs. ice cold vegan butter, chopped
1 egg-replacer 
1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
2-3 Tbs. ice cold water

 

Pulse the ingredients together in the bowl of a large food processor until crumbly and beady.


Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper and form into a dough mound.


Top with another layer of parchment and roll out into an 11″ disc.

 

Transfer to a deep-dish pie plate and flute the edges.

 

Set aside and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

 

Filling:
1 lb. firm tofu
14 oz. vegan green chile
1 tsp. sea salt
8 oz. vegan cheese, shredded and divided in half

 

In the same food processor, whir the tofu, green chile, and sea salt together until smooth and creamy.

 

Line the crust with half of the shredded cheese, fill with the tofu green chile, and top with the last of the cheese.

 

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is nice and bubbly!
