Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (red or a mix of colors)
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, press it down gently, and poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm slices in the microwave or oven until heated through.
- For freezing, wrap the quiche tightly in plastic wrap and foil; it can be frozen for up to 2 months.
