Quick Easy Delicious Veggie Quiche Recipe

Quick Easy Delicious Veggie Quiche Recipe



I have been craving quiche lately, for like the last few weeks, for some reason. So, I finally decided to take the time to actually make one. I am not sure why I didn't already. A crust-less quiche is really easy to make and hardly takes any time at all. And, if you love quiche like I do, it is worth the little time it takes. And, it can be pretty healthy depending on what you choose to put in it, and you have breakfast or lunch for days if you make one big enough for leftovers!

I just threw some items together that I had available in the kitchen and yummy for my tummy! So, the following recipe is for a small quiche, but it can easily be doubled. The one I made fits approximately an 8 inch square or a small rectangle like the one in the photos. I prefer glass pans, but you can also use metal. If you choose to use a non-stick baking pan, you may want to just watch the time as the time below is for glass baking dishes.

Quick Easy Delicious Veggie Quiche Recipe:


6 eggs
1/4 green pepper, chopped up into small pieces
1/4 med. onion, chopped up into small pieces
2/3 cup frozen spinach, thawed
2/3 cup mayonnaise
real butter (enough to sauté peppers and onions)
salt and pepper to taste if preferred or add after cooking
1 cup fresh shredded Cracker Barrel cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sauté the chopped peppers and onions in the butter in a medium pan. Set aside.

Thaw the frozen spinach under hot water for only a minute or so. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.

Use electric beater to mix eggs and mayonnaise about 30 seconds 'til thick, fluffy and fully mixed.

Add peppers, onions and spinach and mix in with a fork. Mix in the freshly shredded/grated cheese.

Pour into a buttered 8 inch glass pan (or similar size).

Bake @ 350 degrees for about 23-25 minutes for 8 inch glass baking dish, should be slightly browned and just pulling away from sides of pan. Top will be a little shiny, but not wet. And, will be firm not jiggly when removing from oven.

Let cool a few minutes to set before serving.

Alterations:
You can change or add veggies. If you add ingredients, make sure it still fits in the size pan recommended.
