Topping:
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- To make Whole Wheat Flax Crust: Mix pastry flour, flaxseed and salt (optional) together. Stir oil and plant-based milk in with a fork to make a stiff dough.
- Pat the dough into a 10-inch pie or quiche baking dish. Pierce all over with a fork and bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
- While crust is baking, prepare Vegetable Filling: Heat olive oil in large sauté pan and sauté onions and garlic for 4 minutes. Add asparagus and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in dill, black pepper, and dry mustard. Remove from heat.
- Place tofu, ½ cup plant-based milk, red pepper, nutmeg, turmeric, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and salt (optional) in the container of a blender and puree until smooth.
- Stir tofu mixture into asparagus mixture and combine well. Pour into the par-baked crust and return to oven (375 F). Bake for 30 minutes.
- Prepare Topping by assembling cherry tomato halves; in a small dish mix together breadcrumbs, dill, and 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Remove quiche from oven, top with sliced cherry tomatoes (cut side up) and sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs and return to oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cool for about 5-10 minutes, and slice into 8 servings.
