This recipe is so versatile: use any seasonal, fresh or frozen veggies you have ready to go! I like using hearty vegetables like spinach, kale, swiss chard, zucchini, squash, onions, garlic, etc.

Yield: 1 quiche (6-8 servings)

Ingredients:

1 prepared pie crust, thawed

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely diced

1 small zucchini, finely chopped

2 cups swiss chard, chopped

1/2 cup deli or spiral ham, diced (or breakfast sausage, chicken sausage or bacon)

5 eggs

1/2 cup milk or half & half

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Evenly unroll the prepared pie crust into a pie pan. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until just set (not browned).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, onion, zucchini, swiss chard and ham. Cook on medium-low heat until for 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and ham is heated through.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cheese and seasonings until well incorporated.
4. Place the vegetable mixture in the bottom of the pie crust and spread evenly. Carefully pour over the egg mixture.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until crust is brown and eggs are fully cooked and firm.
