Ingredients
- 1 9 inch deep-dish pie crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ½ cup mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup chopped broccoli
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
- ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bake pie crust in the preheated oven until firm, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven and set aside. Reduce oven to 350°F.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and broccoli. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove veggies from the skillet and set aside.
- Sprinkle tomato slices with flour and basil; cook in the skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Spread colby-jack cheese on the bottom of the pie crust. Spread veggie mixture over the cheese, then top with tomato slices.
- Pour the egg mixture over top and sprinkle with the Swiss cheese.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Veggie Combination. Mix and match your favorite vegetables for a colorful and tasty quiche. While I used bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes, you can also try adding spinach, and artichokes.
- Pre-cook Vegetables. It's super important to pre-cook the vegetables. Saute or roast them before assembling the pie.
- Pie Crust. A flaky, buttery pie crust can take your veggie quiche to the next level. Make sure to use a trusted recipe or a store-bought crust you love.
- Cheese. I love the addition of Swiss and Colby Jack Cheese. You can also try adding feta, cheddar, or goat cheese.
- Don't overcook. Don't dry out your quiche by overcooking it! The center should be set but slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
