Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
3/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
3/4 cup diced roasted zucchini
2 cups fresh spinach or 1/2 cup thawed frozen chopped spinach, squeezed to drain
1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1/4 cup chopped green onions (4 medium)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 to 3 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. On lightly floured surface, unroll pie crust. If necessary, roll out crust with rolling pin until even. Line 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; flute edge as desired with spoon or fork. Line crust with sheet of foil; fill with pie chain, uncooked rice or dried beans to keep pie crust from bubbling up. (Or do double duty and roast vegetables in foil liner while baking crust.)
  • Bake about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat eggs and milk with whisk until smooth. Stir in salt and pepper; set aside. Prepare vegetables and herbs for filling.
  • Press excess moisture from vegetables; place in large bowl. Add parsley and mint; toss. Arrange vegetable mixture in partially baked pie crust. Pour egg mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle evenly with crumbled cheese.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and center barely jiggles when quiche is moved. Remove from oven; cool at least 20 minutes before cutting and serving quiche.

The crust on this quiche was a bit too soggy. I would recommend baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This quiche was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The crust on this quiche was too thick and dry. I would recommend using a different recipe for the crust.

This is a great recipe for a vegetarian quiche. The vegetables are packed with flavor and the crust is flaky and golden brown.
