Ingredients
For the Quiche:
1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped asparagus
1/2 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1/3 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup diced green onions
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half (or whole milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
Instructions
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the crust
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Press into the edges and trim excess if needed. Lightly prick the bottom with a fork.
Sauté the vegetables
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and green onions and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in spinach and peas and cook until spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
Prepare the egg mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and fresh herbs if using.
Assemble the quiche
Spread sautéed vegetables evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture over everything.
Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Cool and serve
Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Cooking Tips
🥚 Don’t overbake – The center should jiggle slightly when you remove it from the oven; it will continue setting as it cools.
🥬 Dry vegetables first – If using frozen peas or spinach, make sure excess moisture is removed to avoid a soggy quiche.
🧀 Use flavorful cheese – Gruyère adds a classic nutty flavor, but sharp cheddar or goat cheese also works beautifully.
🥧 Blind bake the crust (optional) – For an extra crispy crust, bake the empty crust for 8 minutes before adding the filling.
Variations
🌿 Crustless Spring Quiche
Skip the crust and bake the mixture in a greased pie dish for a lower-carb version.
🥓 Spring Veggie & Bacon Quiche
Add ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon for extra savory flavor.
🍄 Mushroom Spring Quiche
Sauté sliced mushrooms with the asparagus for a deeper umami taste.
🧀 Goat Cheese & Herb Quiche
Replace Swiss cheese with crumbled goat cheese and add extra fresh dill.
🥕 Garden Vegetable Quiche
Add diced zucchini, shredded carrots, or bell peppers for even more color and texture.
