Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the quiche evenly.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined and slightly frothy, which helps create a light texture.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in the 1 cup of mixed vegetables and 1 cup of shredded cheese to the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste, ensuring the flavors are balanced.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared mixture evenly into the pre-made pie crust, making sure the filling is well distributed.
- Bake Quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top turns golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This resting time helps it set further, making it easier to slice before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the mixed vegetables with your favorites or seasonal produce.
- Using a pre-made pie crust saves time but feel free to make your own if preferred.
- For a richer flavor, replace milk with cream or half-and-half.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so start checking for doneness at 30 minutes.
- Letting the quiche cool before slicing ensures clean slices and better presentation.
