- In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and add the sliced leeks and mushrooms. Sauté for 2 minutes, add spinach leaves and sauté for 3 minutes more. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add chickpea flour and milk, whisk together until well combined.
- Add oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and thyme.
- Place the sautéed veggies, and the Violife Original Flavour Block cubes into the baked quiche crust, pour the chickpea mixture over and then top with the Violife Original Flavour Grated.
