Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package pre-made pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, diced red bell pepper, and chopped broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder until well combined.
Stir the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the egg mixture, reserving a small handful of cheddar for topping.
Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg and cheese mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top and sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the surface.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Enjoy your cheesy vegetable quiche!
