Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Vegetables

  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1 cup diced butternut squash
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced onion

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, sliced mushrooms, and diced butternut squash until they become tender, about 5-7 minutes. Then add the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Assemble Quiche: Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the pre-made pie crust placed in a pie dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top to cover the surface.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the top is golden brown. You can check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to set more completely before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with a side salad for a wholesome meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute any seasonal vegetables you have on hand to customize the quiche.
  • This quiche can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Reheat before serving.
  • Serving with a fresh side salad complements the quiche for a balanced meal.
