Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and helps achieve that beautiful golden crust.

Prepare the Crust: Place your pie crust into a tart pan or pie dish. Gently press it against the sides and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté chopped bell peppers and spinach until softened. This should take about 5 minutes and fill your kitchen with delicious aromas.

Create the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.

Add Veggies and Cheese: Fold in your sautéed vegetables along with halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese. Stir gently to combine without breaking up the veggies too much.

Bake Your Quiche: Pour the vegetable-egg mixture into your prepared crust evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until set in the center and lightly browned on top. Enjoy watching it puff up beautifully
