Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped leeks (white and light green parts)
  • 1/2 cup chopped asparagus
  • 1/2 cup chopped zucchini
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  5. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly in the pie crust. Top with cherry tomatoes, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  8. Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
