Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a pie dish and gently press it down to fit snugly. Trim any excess hanging over the edges if needed.

Sauté Your Vegetables: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped asparagus and bell peppers, cooking until they’re tender but still vibrant – about 5 minutes. Toss in fresh spinach until wilted.

Create the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. This mixture should look rich and luscious as it combines beautifully.

Add Vegetables to Crust: Spread your sautéed vegetables evenly across the prepared pie crust. Then pour the creamy egg mixture on top, letting it settle into all those nooks and crannies of veggie goodness.

Bake Your Quiche : Carefully place your quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on top and set in the middle. You’ll know it’s ready when it slightly jiggles but doesn’t wobble too much.

Cool and Serve : Allow your Spring Vegetable Quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment

Perfecting the Cooking Process
