Why this recipe works
The combination of roasted red peppers and feta cheese balances sweetness and tanginess perfectly. Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and softens their texture, while feta adds a salty, creamy contrast that enhances the overall flavor. Together, they create a rich, satisfying filling that’s both flavorful and fresh, making the quiche stand out from traditional versions.

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.
Serving Ideas:
- Serve with a crisp mixed green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
- Pair with roasted asparagus or sautéed spinach for extra veggies.
- Complement with a chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Grigio.
- Add a side of crusty bread or garlic baguette to round out the meal.
Additional tips
- For a richer flavor, you can add a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese to the filling.
- Preheat your oven fully to 375°F (190°C) before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Blind bake the crust for 5-10 minutes to avoid sogginess.
- To prevent cracks on the quiche surface, avoid overbaking—remove it when the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
- Let the quiche cool gradually at room temperature before slicing to maintain texture.
- This quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Ensure your eggs are as fresh as possible for the best poaching results.
- For a non-vegetarian option, you can add cooked bacon or sausage to the quiche mixture.
