A versatile and delicious quiche filled with creamy eggs, savory vegetables, and melted cheese, perfect for brunch or cozy family breakfasts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade)

- 1–2 cups Shredded Cheese (Cheddar, Gruyère, or your choice)
- 1–2 cups mixed Vegetables (Spinach, Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Onions)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Herbs (Thyme, Chives, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a store-bought crust, place it in your pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Whisk together the eggs and milk or cream in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the vegetables and shredded cheese. Season generously with salt, pepper, and any herbs.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust gently.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly wobbly in the center.
- Cool slightly before slicing, letting it rest for 10-15 minutes for optimal flavors.
Notes
For a make-ahead option, prepare the filling and crust the night before and assemble in the morning. Options for customization include adding meats or different cheeses.
