Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  6. Spread the cooked vegetables evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
  7. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Slice and serve the spinach and carrot quiche warm or at room temperature.
