Vegetarian Quiche Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
• 1 cup diced mushrooms
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:

• If you’re using a store-bought pie crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking the crust. If you’re making your own, roll out the pie dough and fit it into a greased 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough.

2. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Sauté the Vegetables:

• In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat.
• Sauté the diced bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion until they become tender and any liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
• Add the chopped spinach and continue cooking until it wilts. Remove from heat and let it cool.

4. Prepare the Filling:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano.

5. Assemble the Quiche:

• Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the pre-baked pie crust.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.
• Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese.

6. Bake:

• Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.

7. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature.

8. Enjoy:

• Slice and serve your delicious vegetarian quiche as a perfect brunch or dinner option.
