Instructions
Make the crust: Add the almond flour and all purpose flour, salt, and herbs to a bowl and mix well.
Then add the flax egg mixture and 4 tablespoons of non dairy milk and mix well until the mixture is crumbly. If it needs more moisture, then add the milk, 1-2 teaspoons at a time until you get crumbly dough.
Grease a 9 inch tart pan. press this dough down in the tart pan evenly. Keep pressing to the edges so that you have tall edges on the side. Prick some holes in the crust
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit( 180 degrees Celsius) for 11-12 minutes.
Make the filling: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat then add the garlic, onion, mushroom and carrots and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook until the mixture is golden and has reduced significantly. Take off heat and set aside to cool.
In a bowl, add white beans or chickpeas and mash until 3/4 of the beans are mashed.
Then add the onion mushroom mixture and mash again for a little bit. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix really well.
Then add the breadcrumbs as needed, 1-2 tablespoons at a time. The mixture should be lightly moist . It should be able to spread well on the tart.
Transfer this mix to the baked crust and even it out really well. Top it with some tomato slices or onion slices.
In a bowl, mix the worcestershire sauce and oil and brush all over the tart and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180c)for 30 to 40 minutes. Then let it cool for another 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Nutfree: use a regular pie crust which is flour and oil or vegan butter.Gluten-free: use a Glutenfree crust of choice or use oat flour instead of all purpose in the crust. Use oat flour instead of breadcrumbs in the filling.Soyfree: Use a mix of coconut amino a molasses and garlic powder as a substitute for vegan Worcestershire sauceOil-free: use broth to sauté You can also bake this without the crust. You can make this into small individual loaf sizes or burger patty sizes and bake them. Increase the glaze to cover the tops so that the tops don't dry out.You can also make them into muffin tin similarly and add the glaze accordingly.
