Ingredients
- 1 9-inch premade pie crust
- 14 ounces firm or extra firm tofu, well drained
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond, soy or other plant-based milk
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3-4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning mix
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Poke a few holes at the bottom of the pie crust with a fork and cook for 10 minutes, or according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, place the tofu, almond milk, tahini, nutritional yeast, garlic, Italian Seasonings, salt, pepper, chipotle powder, and tamari, if using, into a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- Transfer to the pie crust, spread evenly with a spatula, and cook until the top is golden brown, and cracks appear on the surface, approximately 35 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm.
