Ingredients
  

For the Pastry Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3-4 tbsp ice water

For the Filling:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Make the Pastry Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Filling: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach, and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Quiche: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Transfer the dough to the pie dish, trimming any excess and crimping the edges.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the bottom of the pastry crust.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake the Quiche: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving.
