Remember that funny-looking pie crust recipe I posted here. Well here it is filled and cooked, and looking much prettier, don't you think?!
This is my basic veggie quiche recipe. It usually tastes, and looks different every time I make it based on the veggies I have on hand. But whatever veggies I use, it always tastes pretty delicious. And if there's any left by lunchtime the next day, reheat it in a skillet in a little olive oil, cooking it on both sides. Yum!!
Veggie Quiche

Single uncooked pie crust
3-4 cups chopped vegetables (broccoli or spinach, mushrooms, onion, and garlic are really good), plus cilantro and tomato for the top, if you like

1-2 Tbsp. Flour
Salt and Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

1/3 cup milk
1-2 Tbsp. Flour
Salt and Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Instructions:
- Start with a pie crust. Try my homemade crust recipe, or buy a dry mix - a good one is Krusteaz Pie Crust Mix, because you just add water.
- Place crust in a glass baking dish.
- Gather 3-4 cups of your favorite chopped veggies, and saute in a little olive oil.
- Place sauteed veggies in pie crust.
- Top with grated Cheddar cheese.
- Whip together milk, eggs, and flour (I do this in a 1 quart measuring cup, starting with the milk.)
- Pour egg mixture over cheese and veggies, covering. Gently press down with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Top with chopped cilantro and slices of tomato last, before popping into a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. It's done when it looks browned and firm, and is not soft in the middle.
