Vegetable Quiche is a French savoury tart, made with a pastry shell filled with vegetables, eggs and cheese, then baked until set. The vegetables vary with the season; mushrooms, spinach, peppers or courgettes are all common choices, and home cooks often adapt the filling to what they have on hand.
In France it is served warm or at room temperature for lunch, brunch or a light supper, often with a green salad. It also makes an easy make-ahead meal for busy households elsewhere. The pastry contributes most of its carbohydrates, while eggs and cheese provide some protein; the vegetables add a little fibre. For a lighter slice, use a thinner crust and serve it with extra salad.

Vegetable quiche typically has a pastry crust filled with vegetables, eggs, and cheese, often bound with milk or cream. The exact vegetables and cheese vary, so it works well with seasonal produce.
To make vegetable quiche, fit pastry into a tart dish, add cooked vegetables and cheese, then pour over beaten eggs mixed with milk or cream. Bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden.
Spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, peppers, and zucchini all work well in vegetable quiche. Choose vegetables that complement one another, and cook watery ones first so they do not release excess moisture into the filling.
Usually, yes, for vegetables that release a lot of water or need more time to soften. Sautéing them first also concentrates their flavor; leafy greens should be wilted and squeezed or drained before going into the filling.
Yes, you can make crustless vegetable quiche by greasing the baking dish and pouring the egg-and-vegetable filling straight into it. The result is softer and less sliceable than pastry-based quiche, so let it rest before serving.
Cook watery vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini before adding them to vegetable quiche, then drain off excess liquid. Avoid overfilling the crust, and bake until the egg mixture has set rather than removing it while runny.
Vegetable quiche is done when its edges are set and lightly browned and the center no longer looks liquid. A slight wobble in the middle is fine; it will firm up as the quiche rests before slicing.
Yes, vegetable quiche can be baked a day ahead and chilled once cool. Reheat it in the oven before serving for a crisper crust, or serve it cold or at room temperature if that suits the meal.
Vegetable quiche generally keeps for three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it after it has cooled, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, vegetable quiche freezes well once fully cooled. Wrap whole or individual portions tightly, thaw them in the refrigerator, then warm in the oven; the pastry usually stays crisper than if reheated in a microwave.
