Easy meat free quiche recipe?

[trcy]

I think I am going to make a quiche for Easter. I have never made one before, it doesn't look too hard. But I rather go with a tried and true recipe rather than picking something random off the internet. Please, share your favorite. TIA!

I have used Paula Deen' s in the past, and it is awesome. I just substitute different add ins for the ham/ spinach:

I use the Joy of Cooking recipe and add whatever veggies I want. I've used tomato, spinach, broccoli and asparagus in the past.

Spinach, feta and black or kalamata olives is my fave. I do about 5 eggs and some milk, plus a pinch of mustard, salt and pepper.

I think the first one I ever made was a corn quiche, a la Julia Childs (?) .

I use Alton Brown's method for "refrigerator pie (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/refrigerator-pie-recipe)"

He has suggestions of ingredient combinations that would work, but I would also suggest your favorite omelette fillings. The spinach-feta-kalamata olive that a PP suggested sounds really yummy to me!

I make this all the time, so easy and quick to prep!

i usually serve it with a side of nice big bowl fresh fruit and a side of either bacon or sausage links.

Love this one - I like my quiches less "eggy" and the cottage cheese allows you to use fewer.

Kids will eat it, even. I use a frozen pie crust and don't cook it as long as they say to ~45 minutes.

I've done an overnight egg bake which uses toasted English muffins as the base. You toast and butter them and then pour the egg/milk/veggie/cheese mixture over them and allow to sit overnight. The English muffins are totally absorbed and make a really nice crust to the quiche. The recipe is from Taste of Home magazine - I'll try and find a link. I vary the veggies/meats so you can put whatever you'd like in it.

I make this crustless quiche all the time- it's actually from a 'baby food' cookbook that I received when DD1 was born. But, adults and kids have all loved it! I get asked for the recipe all the time.

1 tbsp butter or margarine
2 eggs
3/4 cup whole milk (I've sometimes used 2% or skim)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 package (10 oz) fresh spinach, chopped, stems removed (I'm usually lazy and defrost a frozen pack of chopped spinach instead)
2 cups grated cheddar (I've also used mozzarella or other cheeses)

- place butter in casserole dish and set in oven for 2 minutes or until just melted. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly. Stir in milk. Add flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Beat until mixture is smooth. Stir in spinach. Add cheese.
- Place in the casserole dish and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

I will often double it and bake it in a 9x13 dish. Sometimes I double the spinach, and sometimes I add another veggie to the spinach instead (onions, red peppers, etc).

I'm a terrible cook and this is one of my sure-fire go-to recipes. As suggested by some of the reviewers, I use 4 eggs, 2/3 cups heavy cream, a full 8oz of feta and 2/3 cup sliced red bell pepper. TO make it faster I substitute pillsbury pie crust and it's just as good. I end up baking it longer too but ymmv.
