How to Make Vegetable and Cheese Quiche

It's not difficult to make your own delicious quiche for dinner. You'll need about an hour and a half, including bake time, and some simple, colorful ingredients.

EditIngredients

• 
  A large yellow or white onion
• 1-2 bell peppers; red and green make for a nice color combination
• Spinach, fresh or frozen
• 2-3 scallions
• 2-3 Tbsp. olive oil or butter
• 2-3 cups of grated cheese
• 8-9 eggs or equivalent egg replacement
• Some milk
• Dashes of salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne
• Two pie shells (bottom only). You can make them or buy them

EditSteps

1. 1
   Chop the onion into bite-sized pieces.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Chop the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Remove the seeds and stem.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Saute the onions and peppers in the olive oil or butter. Drain off any excess liquid.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Prepare the spinach. If you are using fresh spinach, saute it until it wilts. If you are using frozen spinach, thaw it. Drain or squeeze out excess liquid.
   
   
   
5. 5
   Slice the scallions thinly.
   
   
   
6. 6
   Blind bake the crusts for 2-3 minutes.
   
   
   
7. 7
   Grate the cheese.
   
   
   
8. 8
   Arrange the sauteed vegetables in the pie shells, then layer on the scallions and spinach.
   
   
   
9. 9
   Spread the grated cheese on top of the vegetables.
   
   
   
10. 10
    Beat 8-9 eggs, or use egg replacements for a lighter mix. Add some milk to the mixture along with dashes of salt, pepper, paprika and a little bit of cayenne. After the crust is filled to the top with cheese and veggies, pour in the liquid mixture to the top.
    
    
    
11. 11
    Bake the quiches at 350ºF/180ºC for 45 minutes or until done. The egg mixture should set up, so that it is no longer liquid in the middle, and a knife inserted in the middle should come out clean.
    
    
    
12. 12
    Allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.
