This easy quiche recipe with veggies {you pick!} & cheese {your choice!}, 100% fits the bill!
I adapted the recipe from one of my ALL TIME favorite vegetarian cookbooks, Mollie Katzen’s Moosewood Cookbook.
And, many years later, the cookbook AND my gluten free adaptation of this easy quiche recipe, are still my favorites.
My best friend gave me a copy, waaaaay back, when I was at San Diego State studying nutrition.
How is quiche made?
It’s quite simple. Promise.
Especially if you “cheat” a little, and use a pre-made gluten free crust like I do.
Or, you could go “naked” and turn it into a crustless quiche 🙂
But, to make this easy quiche recipe, you simply…
- Place your pie crust on a baking sheet.
- Spread grated cheese on top of crust.
- Saute your veggies, then spread them over cheese.
- Blend egg/milk mixture & pour over crust/cheese/veggies.
- Bake. And, your quiche is ready to eat!
Go ahead & clean out the fridge~you can make this easy quiche recipe with whatever cheese & veggies you have on hand! Here are just a few delicious combinations to try…
- Cheddar cheese + Broccoli
- Mozzarella + Tomatoes
- Feta Cheese + Bell Peppers
- Gouda + Spinach
