Description

A light and flavorful quiche packed with fresh spring vegetables like spinach, asparagus, and peas. Perfect for a spring brunch or a light dinner!


Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

  • 1/2 cup asparagus, chopped

  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced

  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing vegetables)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the crust: Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. If using a store-bought crust, you can slightly pre-bake it for 5-7 minutes to prevent sogginess.

  3. Sauté the vegetables: In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, asparagus, and peas, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.

  4. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  5. Assemble the quiche: Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle the cheddar and feta cheeses on top.

  6. Bake: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

  7. Cool: Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.


Notes

  • You can swap the vegetables based on what’s in season or your personal preferences.

  • Add cooked bacon or ham for a non-vegetarian option.

 

  • This quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
