Roasted Vegetable Quiche

The Roasted Vegetable Quiche recipe is ideal for using roasted vegetables, whether they are leftovers from the night before or a way to clear out the fridge. This scrumptious quiche’s brilliant colors and tastes make it an attractive centerpiece, perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

This recipe uses frozen pastry or ready-made pie dough to save time and effort. Butternut squash, peppers, onion, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes are among the vegetables listed, but feel free to substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand or that your family wants.

What Is the Difference Between a Quiche and a Frittata?

Despite the fact that they are both egg-based foods with a round form, quiche and frittatas have some notable variances. A quiche, on the other hand, has a crust, but a frittata does not. Second, a quiche has more dairy than a frittata—indeed, many frittata recipes do not contain any dairy at all. Finally, the manner both breakfast meals are prepared differs: a quiche is entirely baked in the oven, whilst a frittata is prepared on the stovetop and then finished in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
  • 2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks(zrdi)
  • 1 small eggplant(beingen), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • salt to taste
