Preheating is key for a perfect bake. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Next, add sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes. Finally, toss in the chopped spinach. Cook until it just wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, whisk together three large eggs and one cup of milk or half-and-half. Stir in one cup of crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This mixture will bind the quiche together. Add the cooled sautéed vegetables to the egg and cheese mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined.

To boost the taste of your quiche, consider these herbs and spices: - Thyme adds a nice earthy flavor. - Basil gives a sweet, aromatic touch. - Red pepper flakes can add a kick if you enjoy spice. - Garlic powder enhances overall flavor without being overpowering. Experiment with different combinations to find what you love best. Serving your quiche well makes it even more enjoyable.

A simple vinaigrette works great. - Use a colorful plate to make your dish pop. This adds visual appeal.

I love adding roasted tomatoes for a burst of flavor. Carrots also work well if you want a hint of sweetness. Just remember to chop them small for even cooking. You can mix and match based on what you like or have in your fridge. Cheese adds creaminess and flavor to the quiche. While feta is great, you can try cheddar, mozzarella, or even goat cheese. Each cheese brings its own taste. For a sharper flavor, use aged cheddar. If you prefer something milder, mozzarella is perfect. Mix different cheeses for a unique twist. If you need a gluten-free option, use almond flour or a store-bought gluten-free crust. You can also make a crust from mashed potatoes for a fun twist. If you prefer homemade, try a simple dough with flour, butter, and water. It’s easy to make and tastes fresh. Choose what fits your diet and taste best.
