“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart.” - Wolfgang Puck
Quiche is one of my favorite things to make for my loved ones. The greatest thing about this dish is that you can literally add any filling you want - seafood, pork, vegetables, cheeses, herbs, and/or spices - the sky’s the limit.
For the recipe I am sharing today, I’ve made a vegetable quiche consisting of: asparagus, broccoli, gruyere and swiss cheese, shallots, and some of my favorite herbs and spices.
What You’ll Need
For the filling:
1 frozen deep dish pie crust
4 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 chopped shallot
1/2 cup chopped asparagus
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce sauce
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper
1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasoning
1/2 cup swiss cheese
1/2 cup gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the garnish:
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 cup chopped or sliced tomatoes
Instructions
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 375°F.
STEP 2: Place the frozen pie crust in the oven for about 5-10 minutes so the dough can brown. Then, remove the pie crust from the oven so it can cool prior to adding the vegetable and liquid mixture.
STEP 3: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium to high heat with olive oil. Add chopped vegetables, seasonings, and herbs, and cook for about 5-8 minutes.
STEP 4: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Add the cooked vegetables and cheese to the deep dish pie crust. Pour cream mixture over the cooked vegetables, and bake until center of quiche is set for about 40-45 minutes.
STEP 5: Add chopped tomatoes on top, and sprinkle fresh thyme and basil. Enjoy!
