Easy and versatile quiche recipe. Use whatever veggies you have on hand!
Ingredients
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli (you could also use zucchini, peppers, asparagus or any other veggie you have on hand)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or other leafy green (Kale, Chard or Collards work well too!)
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar)
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup lowfat milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • salt & pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350˚.
  2. If using bacon, fry in skillet until crisp, crumble and set aside on paper towel.
  3. Spray skillet with cooking spray (you can also skip the spray and use the skillet that is now coated in bacon grease). Saute onions, broccoli and any denser veggies (peppers, asparagus...) for a few minutes, stirring occasionally (you can also steam the broccoli and asparagus if you prefer softer veggies). Once veggies are soft, add leafy greens (spinach, kale...) and wilt for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Mix in bacon crumbles, if you are using them.
  4. Put some shredded cheese in the pie crust, so that the bottom is just covered. Spoon veggie mixture into crust and sprinkle rest of cheese on top.
  5. Crack eggs into bowl and beat. Add milk, melted butter and a few shakes of salt and pepper. Mix well with a whisk or fork. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and cheese.
  6. Place quiche on a baking sheet and bake in oven for 45 minutes or until center of quiche has set.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to set and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
