Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Premade pie crust
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 small, diced Zucchini
- 1 small, diced Red onion
- 150 grams, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams, pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
- 100 grams Baby spinach
- 100 grams, crumbled Feta cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the premade pie crust and press it into a 9-inch tart or pie pan. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until softened. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.
Take the chilled pie crust out of the refrigerator. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
