Ingredients for the Best Vegetable Quiche

How to Make Vegetable Quiche
- 1. Prepare the crust. Mix butter and flour to form a dough, press it into a pie dish, and pre-bake for 10 minutes.
- 2. Sauté the vegetables. Cook spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms until soft. Let cool.
- 3. Make the quiche filling. Whisk eggs, cream, and seasonings together. Add sautéed vegetables and cheese.
- 4. Bake. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and set.
Tips for Perfect Vegetable Quiche
- Let the crust cool: After pre-baking, let it cool slightly before filling to prevent sogginess.
- Use room-temperature eggs: This helps create a smoother filling.
- Sauté veggies before adding to the filling: This releases moisture and prevents the quiche from becoming watery.
Variations & Substitutions
- Add protein: Add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier quiche.
- Vegan: Use a dairy-free crust and substitute eggs with a vegan egg replacement.
- Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free crust or make a crustless quiche.
