Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place your pie crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pan.
-
Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook until tender, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the flour and dried basil and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
-
Layer the quiche: Place tomato slices in the crust, then evenly spread the sautéed veggies on top.
-
Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the crust.
-
Top with cheese: Sprinkle Colby-Jack evenly over the quiche.
-
Bake: Cook for 35–40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
-
Cool and serve: Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a perfect vegetarian quiche.
