Roasted Vegetable Quiche with Spinach and Sharp Cheddar
I made this roasted vegetable quiche with spinach and sharp cheddar for dinner and it was a big hit. I used a frozen crust because it was a busy weeknight but homemade crust would be delicious too. I had some leftover quiche for lunch today, which was wonderful. If you love roasted veggies, try this quiche!
Roasted Vegetable Quiche with Spinach and Sharp Cheddar
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
- 4 oz button mushrooms, quartered
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 5 stalks of asparagus, ends removed & cut into thirds
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 frozen pie crust
- 5 eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
How to Make a Roasted Vegetable Quiche with Spinach and Sharp Cheddar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the onion and mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil then season with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place into the oven and roast for 15 minutes; add the asparagus and tomatoes then continue roasting for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Reduce the oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a piece of tin foil with cooking spray, press it gently on top of the frozen pie crust, and place it into the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Place the tin foil on the bottom of a baking sheet. Place the pie crust on top.
Combine the eggs, milk, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, in a bowl and whisk until very well combined.
Sprinkle the bottom of the crust with most of the baby spinach, followed by most of the roasted veggies, and then half of the cheese.
Add the well-whisked egg mixture. Sprinkle the remaining spinach, roasted veggies, and cheese on top.
Place into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top is set and not wiggly and the eggs are cooked through. Don’t overcook!
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.

So delicious! I must bake one this weekend too.
Quiche has become quite a popular and standard dish since the book “Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche” published in 1982 (I just checked the date). Now it’s for everyone! Yours sounds delicious. Though I like all the additions, I remain a fan of quiche Lorraine, which had very few ingredients and had to be eaten immediately after coming out of the oven, while it was still all puffy and light.

Quiche is a go-to for me when I don’t have a lot of prep time and want something which will stick to your ribs for a while. Yours looks really great with all the veggies! Colorful and flavorful, just the way I like it.

My favourite thing about quiche making is that you can put anything into them
