Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 3 eggs
- 200ml cream
- 150g feta cheese
- 1 zucchini
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it or placing the pre-made pie crust into the dish.
- Wash and chop the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion into small, uniform dice. This ensures even cooking and distribution of vegetables throughout the quiche.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped vegetables with a pinch of salt and pepper until they become slightly softened and the onions turn translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until well combined and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle half of it across the bottom of the pie crust.
- Distribute the sautéed vegetables evenly over the feta cheese layer.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it fills all the spaces between the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top of the quiche.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the quiche set and makes it easier to serve.
- Slice into 6 equal portions and serve warm or at room temperature. Can be accompanied by a light salad or fresh bread.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables the night before and store them in the fridge. This will make your cooking process quicker and more efficient.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor. Zucchini, bell peppers, and onions should be firm and vibrant.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to mix and match your favorite Mediterranean vegetables, such as spinach, tomatoes, or artichokes, for a personalized twist on the classic recipe.
- Don’t Skip the Cooling Time: Allowing the quiche to cool for 10-15 minutes after baking helps it set properly, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Serve with Style: Pair your quiche with a light salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal that’s sure to impress.
