Vegetable Quiche

I had a friend at work give me a piece of the quiche that she made.  It was so good, and then I got the craving for more!   I happen to be watching my parent's house while they were out of town, which means that I am the collector of the chicken eggs.  Then, someone at work donated a bunch of hatch chilies, so I grabbed a handful and I grabbed all the other vegetables I had in my house and voila...quiche!!!  Now I have something to eat for lunch all week!  woohoo!!!


Vegetable Quiche

2 pie crusts
10 eggs
3/4 cup greek yogurt
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

1/3 of an onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tomato chopped
2 handfuls of spinach, kale or other leafy green (I used one that had spinach, kale and collard greens)
1/3 of a red bell pepper chopped
1/2 cup chopped roasted green chilies
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and red bell pepper to the oil. Saute for 3-4 minutes, add garlic and saute another minute. Add spinac, tomato and green chilies and cook just until spinach starts to wilt. Turn off heat and set aside. Spinach will continue to wilt.
3. Place Greek yogurt in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Add eggs, two at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Add grated cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pour egg mixture into prepared quiche dish. Top with spinach mixture (much of the spinach mixture will sink into the eggs).
5. Bake in a preheated oven until eggs have set, about 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
