Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing vegetables)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or basil, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust by fitting it into a 9-inch pie dish and trimming any excess. If necessary, pre-bake the crust according to package instructions.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté your chosen vegetables until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and dried herbs (if using).
- Spread the cooked vegetables and/or meat evenly across the pie crust. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. Then pour the egg mixture over everything.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until the center is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the quiche should come out clean.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Pair with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
