quiche

ingredients:

prepackaged pie dough

5 eggs

1 c. cream - sometimes i use half-and-half and it still works

1 c. milk - almond milk works if you want to reduce the dairy

2 c of veg, sauteed

1 package frozen spinach (or broccoli or zucchini)

1 sweet onion

.5 c. of cheese

ideas: cream cheese, mozzarella, manchego, parmesan, cheddar, colby jack

.5 tbsp salt

.5 tbsp pepper

.5 tbsp dried parsley

method:

fit the pie dough to a deep glass pie dish and blind bake according to package instructions with pie weights (dried beans and rice in parchment paper).

in the meantime, sautee the veggies.

let the pie crust cool.

preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, and seasoning in a pourable vessel.

add half of the veggies to the pie crust. add a layer of cheese on top of that and repeat adding another layer.

carefully add the egg mixture on top of the other ingredients. i usually put the pie dish on a baking tray on a rack in the oven before i pour. this helps me not to spill the mixture and will protect my oven should overflow occur. you might need to gently mix in the egg mixture a bit with a fork depending on the density of the veggies.

top the quiche with any leftover cheese.

bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
