Springtime Vegetable Quiche

Again, going through all my recipes, and found my quiche recipe that we´ve enjoyed before. It´s from Taste for Life, but I can´t seem to find the recipe on their site.

Lately eggs have been on sale here, so I´ve quite a few to use, and quiche is a great breakfast food that keeps us going through the morning.

Springtime Vegetable Quiche
Serves 4

Pastry for a 9¨ pie crust
1 to 1 1/2 c fresh peas or broccoli florets or asparagus or spinach
1 c grated Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese
4 eggs
1 c milk or half-and-half
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 TBSP chopped fresh chives
1 small tomato, seeded and diced



Preheat the oven to 425. Prepare the pie crust. Bake for 5-10 minutes until light golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool and reduce the oven temp to 375.

Place peas, broccoli, asparagus or spinach into the crust. Then sprinkle the cheese on top of the vegetable.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour mixture evenly over the dish. Sprinkle chopped chives and diced tomato on top.

Bake 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs have set (knife inserted comes out clean) and it´s lightly browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.

NOTES: I´ve used mushrooms, onions and broccoli as a filler, and it´s yummy. Also used green onions or dried chives in place of fresh chives. Used cheddar, or other cheeses instead of swiss or jarlsberg. It´s kind of a throw whatever in, and it generally turns out really good.
