Instructions

Here’s how to make this vibrant, veggie-packed quiche:

Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic, then spread the vegetables out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.

Prepare the Crust: While the vegetables are roasting, line a pie dish with your pie crust. If you’re using store-bought, simply press it into the dish and crimp the edges. If homemade, roll it out and fit it into the dish. Blind-bake the crust for 10–12 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until lightly golden.

Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs. Once the vegetables are done roasting, let them cool for a few minutes, then stir them into the egg mixture.

Assemble the Quiche: Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Spread everything out evenly.

Bake the Quiche: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake the quiche for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center it should come out clean.

Cool and Serve: Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. It’s delicious warm or at room temperature!
