Anything Goes Quiche
Ingredients:
- one 9-inch pie crust - homemade or frozen
- 2 tbsp butter or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion or shallots
- 1 1/2 cups chopped veggies: peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, any leafy greens, beans, potatoes... be creative!
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese - again, experiment with different kinds
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk or plain yogurt
- fresh herbs - basil, oregano, parsley etc.
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Have pie crust ready (take a frozen one out of the freezer). Heat butter or oil in large pan and sauté onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add chopped veggies and cook until just softened (don't overdo). Remove from heat for a couple of minutes, then spread veggies in bottom of pie crust. Sprinkle shredded cheese overtop.
In a small bowl, beat eggs with milk or yogurt. Add herbs, salt and pepper. Pour over cheese and vegetables.
Bake quiche at 375 F for 35 to 40 minutes, until puffed and golden, and a knife poked into center comes out clean. Serves 4-6.
