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
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
