Instructions
How to Make Winter Vegetable Quiche
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté the vegetables in a skillet. Heat olive oil over medium heat and add diced onion, mushrooms, and butternut squash. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they're tender and fragrant.
- Add the kale to the skillet. Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
- Whisk the egg mixture. In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until frothy and well-blended.
- Layer the filling. Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly in the pre-made pie crust. Pour your egg mixture over the veggies, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes until it’s golden brown on top and the filling is set.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it firm up and make slicing easier.
Notes
Serve with a fresh salad or a dollop of sour cream on the side for added creaminess.
