Cheeseless Vegetarian Quiche is a lovely dish to take to a party or have on your own table for a light lunch or dinner. This quiche is not only a deliciously savoury dish but also healthy and ideal for those who couldn’t (and shouldn’t) eat meat and cheese. A little fiddly but well worth it!

Ingredients
1 number Pie crust -(store-bought or make your own)
1 number Onion-diced
1 number Red capsicum-diced
1 tsp Garlic-crushed
1 number Crown of broccoli-broken into florets, cutting the large ones
1 number Zucchini-finely chopped or grated
2 cups Mushrooms-sliced
1 tsp Paprika
1 cup Milk
4 number Eggs
number Salt and pepper-to taste
Directions
- Pre-bake your crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees (optional).
- Put a pot of water on to boil for blanching the broccoli.
- Prepare a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking when the broccoli is done. When the water comes to a boil, add the broccoli, blanch until the broccoli is bright green – about 3 minutes.
- Remove the broccoli from the boiling water and plunge in the ice water to stop the cooking. Remove from the iced water and set aside on paper towels to drain.
- Sauté diced onion, dried red pepper, salt and pepper until the onion is translucent, then add garlic and sauté until fragrant – about 1 minute.
- Add the capsicum, sauté until it begins to soften (about 3-4 minutes) then add mushrooms.
- Sauté until the mushrooms give up their liquid and it is mostly cooked off. Remove the vegetables from the heat.
- Combine the eggs and milk and set aside.
- Layer the vegetables into the pie crust, filling the crust evenly.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture into the vegetable filled pie crust.
- Bake for 30 – 45 minutes at 180 degrees.
- Check the quiche regularly. The quiche will be done when the egg mixture is set and no longer shakes when you jiggle the quiche.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
- Recipes Hints and Tips:
- Cheeseless Vegetarian Quiche is suitable to freeze for up to 3 months.
- Serve hot or cold, your choice!
- like to pre-bake my crust as I feel it makes the crust flakier. If you want to pre-bake, put the crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees.
I get what you’re saying, and yeah, those cases where people meet as adults can explain why the attraction happens.…
