Quick Winter Veggie Quiche

This Healthy Vegetable Quiche is Sure to Please

Looking for a quick and easy idea for breakfast, lunch or a light supper? How about a winter veggie quiche? Although hens may be laying at a reduced rate, other breeds such as Japanese Black Bantams will often increase production in cooler months. Milk production is reducing, but winter vegetables are abundant. Time and days are often short, so make the most of your time with a super easy and healthy quiche. 

There are no hard and fast rules to this one. Just grab whatever your garden and pantry has to offer, but here's a base recipe from which to start. This also makes a great puppy brunch when you want to give your furry family members a treat. 

Ingredients

10 eggs
1/3 cup of milk
1/2 pound carrots
1/4 pound sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons parsley
Optional are recommended by my dogs:
1/4 cup cheese
​1/4 cup cubed ham

Steps

1. Grease a 12 inch pie plate and set aside
2. Cube carrots and sweet potatoes into 1/2" pieces
3. Steam vegetables either a pot on the stove or in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave
4. Drain vegetables well
5. Place vegetables, cheese and ham (If desired) into the pie plate
6. Crack eggs in a medium bowl and whisk until blended
7. Add milk and parsley to the eggs and mix together
8. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the pie plate
9. Cook for approximately 8 minutes in the microwave on high setting or in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees. The edges should be set, but the quiche should still be a bit wiggly in the center. Cool for at least 20 minutes.
