Ingredients:

6 large eggs

½ cup milk or heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your choice)

1 cup chopped spinach

½ cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

½ cup chopped onions

½ cup diced mushrooms (optional)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon olive oil

3-4 cheese slices (to wrap around, optional)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven:

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line ramekins or baking dishes with parchment paper.

Prepare Vegetables:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until slightly softened. Add spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Prepare Egg Mixture:

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese.

Assemble:

Pour the egg mixture into the parchment-lined ramekins or baking dishes. Optionally, line the sides of the ramekins with cheese slices for a crispy cheese crust.

Bake:

Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Cool & Serve:

Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from the ramekins. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Tips for the Best Cheesy Baked Vegetable Quiche

✅ Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and high-quality cheese make a big difference in flavor. You can also use frozen veggies—just thaw and drain them first.

✅ Don’t Skip Pre-Cooking the Veggies: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the egg mixture prevents excess moisture, ensuring a firm and flavorful quiche.

✅ Experiment with Cheese: Mozzarella, cheddar, feta, or Swiss cheese all work great. Mix different cheeses for extra flavor!

✅ Line with Cheese for a Crispy Crust: If you want that golden, cheesy edge, use cheese slices around the ramekin before pouring in the mixture.

✅ Check for Doneness: The quiche is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles. You can insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

✅ Let It Rest Before Serving: Cooling for 5-10 minutes after baking helps the quiche set and makes it easier to slice.
