Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 9-inch store-bought pie crust (or homemade, pre-baked)

For the Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

  • 1 cup baby spinach

  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Swiss or mozzarella)

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for creamier texture)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, adds warmth)

Optional add-ins:

  • Zucchini, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, or cooked asparagus

  • Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a homemade crust, pre-bake it for 10 minutes.

  2. Cook the veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened. Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat.

  3. Layer in the crust: Spread the cooked veggies evenly in the pie crust. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  4. Mix the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over the veggie and cheese mixture.

  5. Bake: Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

  6. Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, at room temp, or chilled.
