Ingredients

• 1 prepared crust (store-bought or homemade) Pie crust
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) Onion
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 cup chopped (mixed colors) Bell peppers
• 1 cup (chopped) Broccoli florets
• 2 cups (loosely packed) Baby spinach
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 quarter cup Grated parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and refrigerate while prepping the filling.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add garlic, bell peppers, and broccoli to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 4

Stir in baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

Step 6

Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or chilled!
