Veggie Mediterranean Quiche

I am trying to get my family to eat more vegetables and this Veggie Mediterranean Quiche has turned out to be a real winner in my home. I love it because it’s so easy especially because I buy a prepared pie crust. This recipe uses sun-dried tomatoes. In the store, you can usually find two types of sun-dried tomatoes: dry ones or ones packed in olive oil. You can use either for this recipe. If you use dry ones, rehydrate them with water. If you get oil-packed ones, simply remove them from the oil before using.

Make a spinach and onion filling for the quiche by sautéing onion, garlic, red pepper, spinach, olives, oregano, parsley and feta. Whisk up a filling from eggs, milk and cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach filling and bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes.

To make my Veggie Mediterranean Quiche, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Veggie Mediterranean Quiche

5	Add spinach, olives, oregano, and parsley	5

6	Add feta and sun-dried tomatoes	5
Remove the filling from the heat and stir in ⅓ cup of feta cheese and ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside to cool.
7	Make egg mixture	5
Whisk the 4 eggs, 1 ¼ cups of milk, salt, and pepper, and ½ cup of the Cheddar cheese together in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
8	Add filling to pie crust	3
Place the cooled filling in the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly.
9	Pour egg mixture into the pie crust	2
