Print Recipe

A colorful and flavorful quiche featuring fresh spring vegetables, fluffy eggs, and a flaky crust, perfect for brunch or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or half-and-half (can substitute almond milk)
  • 1 cup chopped asparagus (about 6–8 spears), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen peas
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (about 100 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (chives or tarragon), optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, press down edges, and prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté asparagus, peas, bell pepper, and green onions for 4-5 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese on top. Scatter fresh herbs over the cheese if using.
  6. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the vegetables and cheese, filling the crust almost to the top. Gently shake the pan to level the filling.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Bring eggs and milk to room temperature before mixing to avoid curdling. Avoid overbaking to keep the quiche tender in the center. Blind bake the crust for 5-7 minutes to prevent sogginess. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Let quiche rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
