Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 5 eggs
- 1 Cup Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
- 1 Cup chopped onions
- 1 Cup Broccoli florets – cut up small
- 1 Cup fresh spinach
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 Cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 Tbs parmesan cheese – freshly grated is best.
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Unroll pie crust and place into pie plate – crimp edges and set aside. Cook vegetables and garlic in frying pan over medium heat on stove top for about 5 minutes until tender – stir occasionally. Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper while cooking. After vegetables are tender, remove pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, mayonnaise and milk with a whisk until all is blended and smooth. Once vegetables have cooled, add them to the egg mix. Add the cheese as well and then pour the mixture into the pie crust. Top with the 3 tbs of grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until you can jiggle the pie plate and the center of the quiche is set and not jiggly! The top should be golden brown. Let quiche stand for 10 minutes before cutting to serve. Garnish with cilantro
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This quiche is super versatile and you can use many different veggies and/or meats and cheeses. Let the real you shine!
- Always saute veggies and meats first before adding them to the quiche. They won't cook appropraiately in the quiche as it cooks if you leave them raw.
- Cut all meats and veggies up into smaller pieces when adding so that they are easy to eat.
- You'll want to garnish this quiche with chives or green onions for a spactacular color!
- Follow this advice from the USDA about using eggs in baked preparations.
