Eggs: Fresh eggs will yield the best flavor and texture use large eggs for this recipe.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Sauté Your Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and toss in chopped asparagus and bell peppers. Sauté until they soften, which should take about five minutes.

Add Spinach and Seasoning: Stir in fresh spinach until wilted sprinkle salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Remove from heat once everything is combined nicely.

Whisk Eggs and Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well blended. This mixture will create that rich custard texture when baked.

Combine Everything Together: Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the pie crust. Pour egg mixture over them while ensuring even coverage.

Bake Your Quiche: Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set in the center. The aroma will drive everyone wild

Let it cool slightly before slicing so that every piece holds its shape beautifully. Enjoy warm or at room temperature – either way, it’s delicious

With every forkful of this Spring Vegetable Quiche, you’ll find yourself transported to a sunny picnic day where laughter fills the air and flavors mingle delightfully on your plate. Enjoy
