Veggie Quiche Recipe
Description
The Veggie Quiche Recipe begins with a thawed puff pastry pressed into a pie plate, forming a flaky, buttery crust. The filling is a mixture of beaten eggs, heavy cream, and milk, enriched with garlic salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and onion flakes for mild spice and herbal notes. Shredded Parmesan and cheddar cheeses add richness and depth while delivering a melt-in-your-mouth finish. Fresh, chopped vegetables such as green and red peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli provide texture and freshness.
Baking at 375°F for about 30 to 35 minutes creates a golden and firm custard with a creamy interior, contrasted by the crisp crust. The mixture of cheeses and vegetables ensures a balanced bite, making it suitable for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner. Cooling the quiche briefly before slicing helps maintain clean portions.
Tips for this recipe include grating cheese fresh for better melting quality than pre-shredded varieties. Leftover quiche should be refrigerated tight and consumed within two days. The quiche can be baked ahead, wrapped well, and frozen; baking frozen quiche at 350°F with a crust shield prevents burning edges. This method allows for convenient make-ahead meals with consistent texture and taste.

- 1 heet puff pastry thawed, frozen
- 6 egg large

Notes
- Freshly grate cheese for superior melting and texture compared to pre-shredded cheeses.
- Store leftover quiche covered in the refrigerator and consume within two days for best quality.
- For freezing, bake quiche completely, cool, wrap tightly, and use freezer-safe pie plates; reheat at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
- Use a pie shield or foil on crust edges during reheating to prevent burning.
