- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, store-bought or homemade
- 1 small zucchini, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Place zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Roast vegetables until tender and slightly caramelized, about 20–25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Reduce oven temperature to 180 °C (350 °F). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch quiche or pie pan; crimp edges as desired. Prick the bottom all over with a fork.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and half-and-half until smooth. Stir in roasted veggies and shredded cheese.
- Pour mixture into the prepared crust, spreading veggies evenly. Bake until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden, about 30–35 minutes.
- Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley, if using, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can swap in any vegetables you like—spinach, mushrooms, or asparagus work well.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
- Make ahead by roasting veggies and mixing custard a day in advance; assemble and bake just before serving.
- Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat slices in a 175 °C (350 °F) oven for 10 minutes.
