Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup diced zucchini
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1½ cups shredded cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, or mozzarella), divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried herbs (thyme or basil)
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion until tender (about 5-7 minutes). Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Assemble Quiche:
    • Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
    • Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese evenly over the bottom.
    • Layer the sautéed vegetables over the cheese.
    • Arrange tomato slices on top.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and dried herbs until well combined.
  5. Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the layered vegetables and cheese in the pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the quiche cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Cheese Options: Try feta, goat cheese, or a mix of your favorites for a unique flavor.
  • Crust Alternatives: Use a gluten-free crust, a hash brown crust, or go crustless by baking the filling in a greased pie dish.
  • Additional Vegetables: Add broccoli, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes to suit your taste.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or microwave individual slices for 1-2 minutes.
