Ingredients

Scale

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

Custard and Topping

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiche evenly.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion, mushrooms, and butternut squash until they become tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Kale: Stir in the chopped kale and continue cooking until the kale is wilted, about 2-3 minutes more.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the four large eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Assemble Quiche: Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the pre-made pie crust placed in a pie dish.
  6. Add Custard and Cheese: Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the vegetables, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  7. Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a pre-made pie crust to save time, or make your own if preferred.
  • You can substitute the kale with spinach or Swiss chard.
  • Feel free to use any cheese you like such as Gruyère or mozzarella.
  • The quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
