Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 small zucchini, diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 large eggs

1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or a dairy-free alternative)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Season with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Quiche: Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the crust. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

          Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown. You can insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when ready.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set a little more for easier serving.

              Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad for a delightful meal!
