Directions

to prepare crust

Preheat oven to gas mark 6/400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a quiche dish with non-stick cooking spray.

mix the salt and flour in a big bowl and add olive oil mix it with hand properly(it should resemble coarse sand) and then add half of the water mix well to make dough,,if the flour is still dry add another half of the water and knead to make dough..

now roll the dough(keep a plastic sheet under the dough) in circle around 1cm thick and arrange this crust sheet in the pic dish...prick the base with the fork and bake for around 20-25 mins.

to prepare filling

heat oil and add sliced bell pepper saute for 1min then add chopped onion again for a min and then add spinach leaves mix well and turn of the heat. Now add the salt pepper, chilly flacks and chopped olive mix well and keep aside to get cool.

add the tofu in a blender and make smooth paste. add this past to the filling mixture and mix then well by adding milk. Now the filling is ready.

Take the crust ,chop one slice of cheese sheet and keep in the base of the crust and then fill with the filling,,,,again chop another 2 sheet of cheese and keep on top of it......Now bake the quiche for about 55 mins to 60 mins.
