)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 175'C.
- Lightly grease a pie pan and set aside.
- Combine tofu through lemon in a blender and puree until it is a smooth & even yellow batter.
- Prepare whichever vegetables you would like to add (i used kale, spinach, mushrooms, & sweet potato). Try sauteing mushrooms first, & if you have large chunks of root vegies like the sweet potato, then cooking them for a little while first might help too

- Once combined evenly, poor into prepared pie dish.
- Bake 30-45 minutes at 175'C, or until cooked through & slightly crusted on the edges.
