Description
The Simple Mixed Vegetable Quiche is not only a delightful dish bursting with flavor, but it’s also a smart choice for anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle while enjoying tasty meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared quiche or pie crust (10–11 inch)
- 1½ pounds mixed vegetables, such as:
- – Broccoli florets
- – Cherry or Roma tomatoes, sliced
- – Red onion, thinly sliced
- – Green peas
- – Corn kernels
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mild or medium)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian-style dried herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. While the oven heats up, take a 10–11 inch quiche or tart pan and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter. Then, carefully press the pie crust evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, ensuring it’s smooth and well-fitted.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil while you prepare your vegetables. Once boiling, add a pinch of salt and toss in the broccoli florets. Blanch them for about 3 minutes until they’re tender-crisp.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onion and sauté for about 2–3 minutes until softened and aromatic. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and shredded cheese until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Now it’s time to assemble! Arrange the blanched vegetables in an even layer over the crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Place your quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
You can prepare the quiche the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just pop it into the oven when you’re ready to bake for a convenient meal option.
