Vegetable Quiche

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced bell pepper
• 1 cup diced mushrooms
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in the olive oil until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Stir in the cooked vegetables, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
5. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
