Vegetable Quiche Recipe

A good quiche is all about the crust. Light, flaky and buttery, it should still be sturdy enough to hold up to the layer of eggs and cheese on top.

I used a simple refrigerated puff pastry dough for today’s veggie quiche recipe. Using ready-made pastry is not shameful, especially when it produces such delicious results!

You can use any kind of vegetables you love in this quiche filling. The perfect way to use up abundance from the garden or sneak a few extra veggies into your meals exists!

Serve this on its own or with a side of fresh fruit and Blueberry Muffins. Fancy enough for a special occasion but easy enough to make anytime!

For a more protein heavy breakfast, try my ham and cheese quiche for a delicious twist!

Ingredient Notes

Ingredients needed for vegetable quiche recipe.

Puff pastry. Thaw the frozen dough before using (it only takes about 15 minutes while you prep everything else). You can also use my homemade pie crust!

Parmesan and cheddar cheese. Feel free to swap these out for other favorite kinds of cheese such as Monterey or Colby.

Chopped vegetables. This time I used broccoli, mushrooms and red and green peppers. Feel free to use spinach, tomatoes, asparagus, etc!

How to Make Veggie Quiche

First, press the thawed pastry into a 9-inch pie plate.

Then beat eggs with milk, cream and seasonings. Mix in shredded cheese and vegetables.

Pour the egg mixture into the pie plate. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes.

Let the veggie quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Delicious!

Tips and Tricks

  • Grate your own cheese for best results. It melts so much better than bagged pre-shredded cheese from the store.
  • Store leftover quiche tightly covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 2 days.
  • Need more vegetable ideas? Spinach, olives, sun dried tomatoes, summer squash and onions would all be amazing here.
  • Breakfast and Brunch Recipes: Pair this savory quiche with my favorite crumb cake for a sweet treat!

Recipe FAQs

Can you freeze quiche?

Bake your quiche and cool completely. Wrap quiche in plastic wrap and an airtight container or ziploc freezer bag. Make sure to use a freezer to oven safe pie plate…whether it’s metal or disposable is best.
Cook frozen quiche in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. You may need to put pie shield on the crust (or wrap with foil) so the edges don’t burn.

How do you reheat quiche?

Bake leftover quiche in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Just until warmed. People normally serve quiche at room temperature.

Can you make quiche ahead of time?

Yes! You can make this Vegetarian Quiche recipe the day before. Store in refrigerator until ready to heat and serve.

Comments & Reviews

  1. In the mid-1970’s quiche was a mainstay for our evening meal. We improvised with whatever add-ins happened to be around – bacon, leftover ham or cooked chicken, most any vegetable, and cheese, glorious cheese. And then time moved on and our habits changed. Now my husband and I are in our 60’s and prefer something a little lighter in the evening, while we also feed our vegetarian son and grandson. So quiche has reentered the weekly rotation. I’m not a good scratch piecrust baker, so this idea to use puff pastry is most welcome.

    1. Hi can you suggest how do I do puff pastry with whole wheat flour as I avoid refined flour due to health issues furthermoreI am also vegetarian and would like eggless quiche recipe.

  2. We always do brunch for Mother’s Day too! Sometimes we make it homemade, but most of the time we drive  over an hour to our favorite brunch restaurant. They have the BEST blueberry coffee cake I’ve ever tasted with the most addictive cinnamon streusel! But of course, we always load up on eggs and veggies before diving into that… Like your gorgeous quiche!

  3. This is the first year I’ve lived back near my family in 8 years, so I’ll be looking forward to making brunch for my mom on Mother’s Day. I love this loaded quiche. Looks perfect for Mother’s Day and every other day too!

  4. Yay for warm weather for you guys, but boo for warm weather for us (it gets to 115 here in lil palm springs, ca) This quiche looks delicious. I’ve always wanted to make a quiche, but don’t like the pie crust aspect. This changes everything for me. Whoo Hoo! 

  5. This quiche looks amazing. I’m planning my garden as we speak. I can’t wait for fresh veggies.

  6. So perfect for Mother’s Day brunch! Love that you used puff pastry for the crust!

  7. I don’t make quiche enough! It needs to change because this just made me very hungry! Pinned! 

  8. Veggie quiche is one of my all-time favorites! I’ll eat it for brunch or lunch or dinner. Or all three! How can you argue with pie crust?
    This one looks especially good. I’m glad it’s finally warm enough in the Midwest to garden!

  9. Awh! It would be hard for me to not have a garden, but at least you made the most of the one that you had in Ohio! Hopefully there’s a local farmer’s market where you can get the fresh fruits and veggies! The quiche looks fantastic. We’re huge quiche fans in my house and usually make it for dinner with somem baked sweet potatoes. 🙂
