Ingredients

For the quiche

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

For garnish

• Fresh basil leaves
• A sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a round baking dish with a bit of olive oil.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still vibrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.

5. Stir in the crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Mix until combined.

6. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

🍽️ This quiche can be served warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. It’s versatile for any occasion!
