- Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. When the oil is hot add the onion and mushrooms, cook until the mushrooms are nicely browned, approximately 7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, spinach, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for approximately 1 to 2 minutes, or until the spinach is just wilted.
- Place the 14 oz of tofu, the flax egg, and the remaining 1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning, and salt to taste in the blender or food processor and process until it’s smooth and creamy.
- In a large bowl combine the tofu mixture, 3 cups of vegan cheese, and the mushrooms and onions and stir to combine.
- Roll out the dough until it’s approximately 1/8“thick and place in a pie plate. Trim the edges and pinch the dough around the top of the plate.
- Pour the filling into the plate and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil or a pie crust protector if it begins to burn. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
