Description
The best kale, mushroom, feta and onion quiche recipe. Easy to make and packed with nutrients. A filling, simple breakfast for the whole family.
Ingredients
Scale
- Pie dough for a 9” pie dish or a pre-made, frozen pie crust*
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup cream
- 1/2 tbsp chives
- 1/2 tbsp parsley
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup onion, diced
- 1/3 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 2/3 cup mozzarella, grated
- 1/3 cup feta, crumbled
Instructions
- If using homemade pie dough, prepare it according to the instructions. Roll out the dough and place it in a 9 inch pie dish. Shape the edges. Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before continuing. If using a frozen pie crust, skip to step 4.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375F.
- Remove the crust from the fridge. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line the unbaked pie dough with parchment paper and fill the pie with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are slightly brown. Remove from the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, milk and cream and beat them together with a fork until they are combined.
- Add the chives, parsley, thyme, pepper, salt, onions, mushrooms, kale, mozzarella and feta.
- Remove the pie weights and pour the filling into your pie crust (it’s ok that the blind baked pie crust is still warm when adding the filling).
- Place the pie dish on a baking pan and bake for about 1h 15 min. Bake until the center is solid and crust edges are golden brown. Check the pie every 5 minutes or so in the last 20 minutes of baking time as there will be some variation between ovens.
Notes
- *Generally pre-made frozen pie crusts are a bit smaller than using a homemade pie crust/ dish. You may be able to make two quiches with the filling from this recipe — if that is the case, decrease the baking time to about 45-50 minutes.
- If using pre-made frozen pie crusts, you don’t need to blind bake the crust, just pour the filling in and bake.
- This recipe uses dried herbs because that what I often have on hand (especially in winter). However, it will taste even better with fresh herbs — for fresh herbs, add a bit more than this recipe calls for, to your liking.
