A delicious twist on a classic quiche, this recipe combines roasted red peppers and feta cheese for a rich and satisfying flavor. Perfect for a family meal or a gathering with friends!
Ingredients of Quiche
1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
2 red bell peppers
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Execution
Prepare the Peppers: Roast the red bell peppers on a grill or in the oven until the skin is charred. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and slice into strips. Set aside.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the Peppers: In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the roasted red pepper strips for about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Prepare the Quiche Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Add the crumbled feta and oregano (if using), and mix until combined.
Assemble the Quiche: Spread the sautéed red peppers evenly in the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the peppers and feta cheese, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Additional tips
- For a richer flavor, you can add a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese to the filling.
- This quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Ensure your eggs are as fresh as possible for the best poaching results.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the crust for 5-10 minutes before adding the filling to avoid sogginess.
- For a non-vegetarian option, you can add cooked bacon or sausage to the quiche mixture.
