Easy Veggie Quiche is a delicious vegetable quiche recipe packed with your favorite vegetables. This meatless dish is perfect for brunch.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup whole milk other percents of milk will work as well
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup spinach leaves chopped (fresh or frozen)
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup bell pepper red, green, orange, or yellow depending on preference
- ½ cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 9 ” pie crusts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit.
- Place prepared pie crust in the oven for 5 minutes. This helps the pie crust and filling cook evenly and avoids the pie crust from getting soggy.
- In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onions and spinach until onion begins to become translucent. About 5 minutes.
- At the bottom of the pie crust that has been baked for 5 minutes, layer your vegetables. Layer the mushrooms and bell peppers evenly along the bottom. Next layer the sautéed onions and spinach. Then layer on the cheddar cheese.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk together the milk, eggs and salt and pepper. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixed egg and milk mixture over the top of the pie crust with vegetables and cheese. See photos above for a great visual on these steps.
- Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the egg is set in the center. Serve immediately, or cool and refrigerate or freeze for later.
Notes
- Swiss Cheese - substitute the cheddar cheese for Swiss cheese at a 1:1 ratio.
- Goat Cheese- substitute the cheddar cheese for goat cheese at a 1:1 ratio.
- Almond Milk - Need a quiche recipe without cream or milk? Substitute for soy or almond milk at a 1:1 ratio.
- Half and Half- use half and half instead of whole milk for a creamier taste.
- Heavy Cream - for an extra creamy and rich texture and flavor, substitute the milk for heavy cream at a 1:1 ratio.
- Extra Veggies - feel free to add some of your favorite veggies like, broccoli, kale,
- Crustless- Try this quiche crustless. Make sure to spray the pie pan with vegetable oil before assembling pie to prevent it from sticking too much to the pan.
- Bacon- Need to add a meat? Add cooked bacon pieces after adding the vegetables.
- Ham - making this for easter or brunch? Add in some savory ham for extra flavor.
- Puff Pastry- Instead of using standard pie dough, make the dough out of puff pastry. Be sure to cook for 5 minutes before assembling to help cook the pie evenly and prevent the puff pastry from going soggy.
