Description

A light and flavorful springtime vegetable quiche packed with seasonal veggies and creamy egg filling, perfect for brunch or a light lunch.


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
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add asparagus and zucchini, sauté for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  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.

Notes
