Preparation

  3. Stir in the chopped spinach for the last couple of minutes until it wilts.
Mixing

Assembly
  1. Spread the sautéed veggies evenly across the bottom of your pie crust.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, and then pour the egg mixture over it.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35–40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and lightly browned on top.
Serving
  1. Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Feel free to use any combination of veggies you like or have on hand. Optionally add fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving. It's not about appearance; focus on the flavor!
