Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium (diced) zucchini
- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 3 stalks (sliced) green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set the vegetables aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
Gently fold in the sautéed vegetables and sliced green onions to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish or quiche pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the quiche is set in the middle.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your flavorful low-carb vegetable quiche as a standalone dish or paired with a simple green salad!
