Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 0.5 cup Carrot, diced
- 0.5 cup Broccoli florets, chopped
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Using a fork, gently prick the base of the crust to prevent puffing during baking.
Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the diced carrot, chopped broccoli, red bell pepper, and onion for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the shredded chicken on the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables over the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken and vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling, making sure it covers all ingredients.
Carefully place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
