Description
A quick and tasty vegetable quiche featuring a delightful mix of fresh vegetables and a creamy filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared quiche or pie crust (10–11 inch)
- 1½ pounds mixed vegetables, such as:
- – Broccoli florets
- – Cherry or Roma tomatoes, sliced
- – Red onion, thinly sliced
- – Green peas
- – Corn kernels
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mild or medium)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian-style dried herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 10–11 inch quiche or tart pan with oil or butter. Press the crust evenly into the pan and set aside.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Drain well.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced red onion for 2–3 minutes, until softened. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and shredded cheese until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian-style herbs.
- Arrange the prepared vegetables evenly over the crust. Lightly season with additional salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

- Feel free to customize the vegetable mix based on what you have available.
- For a lighter version, you can use low-fat sour cream.
