Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
3/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
3/4 cup diced roasted zucchini
2 cups fresh spinach or 1/2 cup thawed frozen chopped spinach, squeezed to drain
1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1/4 cup chopped green onions (4 medium)

1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 to 3 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. On lightly floured surface, unroll pie crust. If necessary, roll out crust with rolling pin until even. Line 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; flute edge as desired with spoon or fork. Line crust with sheet of foil; fill with pie chain, uncooked rice or dried beans to keep pie crust from bubbling up. (Or do double duty and roast vegetables in foil liner while baking crust.)
  • Bake about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat eggs and milk with whisk until smooth. Stir in salt and pepper; set aside. Prepare vegetables and herbs for filling.
  • Press excess moisture from vegetables; place in large bowl. Add parsley and mint; toss. Arrange vegetable mixture in partially baked pie crust. Pour egg mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle evenly with crumbled cheese.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and center barely jiggles when quiche is moved. Remove from oven; cool at least 20 minutes before cutting and serving quiche.

GREEK QUICHE

Number Of Ingredients 9

butter
flour
milk
eggs
onion
mushrooms
spinach
parmesan cheese
puff pastry dough

Steps:

  • If its what I think you're talking about it's kind of like a quiche of some sort? It's somewhat easy to make if you know how to make bechamel sauce. So to make bechamel you melt half a stick of butter and add in 1 cup of flour and mix those over a low heat. Then you stir in 1.5 cups of milk and you let that sit on the low heat until it starts boiling. It will thicken as it boils and once its at kind of a thicker consistency then you take it off the stove and mix in 2 eggs. And then you just throw in whatever you want. For the one I made last week I had sauteed onions, mushrooms, and spinach and add those to the bechamel and then a whole bunch of Parmesan cheese. I mixed those and then put them on top of the puff pastry that I bought from trader joes and baked it for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your quiche. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the quiche tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Blind-bake the crust: Blind-baking the crust will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind-bake the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust in a pie plate and line it with parchment paper. Fill the pie crust with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Quiche is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. Some popular fillings include spinach, feta cheese, mushrooms, bacon, and ham. You can also get creative and try different combinations of fillings.
  • Top the quiche with cheese: Before baking the quiche, top it with a layer of grated cheese. This will help to brown the quiche and give it a cheesy flavor.
  • Let the quiche cool before serving: Once the quiche is baked, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.

Greek quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion.
