Spicy Vegetable Quiche

This spicy vegetable quiche features exciting flavors that definitely make you want to ask for a second helping! I also love that it includes zucchini because we can always use another recipe for zucchini! The quiche will make eight slices, or two slices per person, meaning it will serve four people as a light lunch. The pieces freeze well.

Chef Tips:

• It is important to cook the vegetables until they caramelize. This not only dries them out a little, ensuring a quiche that isn’t too ‘wet,’ but the browning adds heaps of flavor.
• We let the vegetables cool a little after cooking so they do not cook parts of the eggs when added later.

A delicious crustless spicy vegetable quiche, ideal for brunch and hearty enough for lunch or dinner. While the freshly baked quiche is delightful, the leftovers are equally satisfying, whether enjoyed warm or cold.
