Easy Vegetarian Quiche

January 26, 2024

A good vegetarian quiche is one of those dishes that feels both comforting and versatile. It’s an ideal choice when you need something hearty yet light, elegant yet unfussy. Whether you’re hosting a brunch, packing lunch for the week, or simply craving something savory and satisfying, this easy vegetarian quiche fits the bill beautifully.

What makes this dish such a go-to favorite is its flexibility. Start with a basic pie crust, homemade or store-bought, and from there, you can build endless flavor combinations. Common additions include spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, and bell peppers, all of which add color and texture. The beauty lies in using what you have on hand or what’s in season, making this quiche a true “clean out the fridge” hero.

The filling comes together quickly. Whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and perhaps a pinch of nutmeg for a subtle depth. Add cheese like cheddar, feta, Swiss, or goat cheese for extra richness and character. Then fold in the sautéed vegetables before pouring the mixture into the crust and baking until golden and set.

One of the best things about vegetarian quiche is how well it holds up. It can be served warm, at room temperature, or even cold straight from the fridge. That makes it perfect for meal prepping or entertaining, since it can be made ahead and still taste amazing the next day.

Serve it with a simple green salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal. For brunch, pair it with fresh fruit or a light smoothie. The quiche is both filling and balanced, rich in protein from the eggs and cheese, and packed with fiber from the vegetables.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just looking for an easy, meatless option to enjoy during the week, this easy vegetarian quiche delivers every time. It’s proof that with just a few ingredients and a little time, you can make something truly satisfying.

    I question the Swiss cheese, feta is better for quiche. But still a decent recipe.

    I followed the recipe but it came out too soggy. Maybe my pie crust was too thick?

      Quiche is actually super easy to make, and it can be great for breakfast! I used to prefer cereal too, but now I love mixing it up with something like this.

      Fancy? C’mon! It’s just eggs and veggies in a crust. Cereal is for kids! Give it a try, you’ll like it!

    I don’t know if I did something wrong, but my quiche didn’t set. It was a runny mess. So disappointed!

    I don’t get why people love quiche so much. This was just okay for me. Tasted kinda bland.

  27. 3 stars
    1 cup milk? That seems like too much. Should I just use half?

  28. User avatar chester.wuckert19 says:

    Yummm, I added some feta and it was great! Super tasty and filling.

    1. 5 stars
      Feta sounds like a great addition! I’ll definitely try that next time I make this.

      I dunno, quiche is just eggs in a pastry. How can it be super tasty? Sounds kinda basic.

  29. User avatar soo.conn83 says:

    Why is there so much cheese? It’s vegetarian not cheesy-pasty!

  30. User avatar delana.wuckert says:

    I love how you can add whatever veggies you like! I used zucchini and mushrooms instead and it turned out great.

    1. User avatar asa.roberts96 says:

      Zucchini and mushrooms sound delish! Can’t wait to try it that way.

    Okay recipe, but why use Swiss cheese? I prefer cheddar! That’s just better.

  34. User avatar dania.morar says:

    Honestly, it was okay. Just a quiche with veggies, nothing special.

    1. User avatar Draugr Scourge says:

      4 stars
      I think you just didn’t add enough spices! Quiche is all about flavor. I love mine with a little bit of garlic and herbs. You should try that next time!

    I don’t like spinach, is there something else I can use? More cheese maybe? Haha.

    1. 4 stars
      You could replace the spinach with kale! It’s super yummy and has tons of nutrition too. Just a thought!

    2. User avatar manuel.koelpin45 says:

      3 stars
      More cheese sounds great! But you still need a base, like greens or something, or it might just be cheesy eggs in a crust. Lol.

  36. User avatar jules.fritsch says:

    I tried this recipe but forgot the pie crust. It was messy but still kinda good. Won’t forget next time!
