How to Make Vegetarian Quiche

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures even cooking for your quiche as soon as it hits that hot oven.

Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add some olive oil and toss in diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and fragrant—around 5 minutes should do it!

Add Spinach Next: Incorporate fresh spinach into the pan, stirring until wilted. The bright green color will make you feel like you’re eating healthy—bonus points!

Mix Eggs and Cream Together: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until smooth. It’s like creating an airy cloud of deliciousness ready to envelop those veggies.

Add Seasonings and Cheese: Stir in salt, pepper, and your choice of cheese into the egg mixture. This is where the magic happens—those flavors meld beautifully!

Combine Everything in Pie Crust: Pour the vegetable mixture into the pie crust evenly before gently adding the egg mixture on top. It’s all about marrying those components together for one fabulous bite.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Slide your quiche into that preheated oven! Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top and set in the center. Just keep an eye on it—it’ll smell amazing!

Let your Vegetarian Quiche cool slightly before slicing into it. Serve warm or allow it to cool completely before storing leftovers in the fridge (if there are any).

Enjoy every savory bite of your deliciously prepared Vegetarian Quiche!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Begin by pre-baking your crust for 10 minutes, then sauté vegetables while it cools. This ensures a crispy base and perfectly cooked fillings that don’t sog up your masterpiece.

Add Your Touch
