Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up while baking. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easy handling.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.
-
Spread the chopped roasted red peppers and sliced Kalamata olives evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the vegetables.
-
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the pie crust, making sure everything is evenly coated.
-
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the quiche; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
-
Once the quiche is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This quiche can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
-
Serve slices of the Roasted Red Pepper and Olive Quiche with a side salad dressed with a simple vinaigrette for a well-rounded meal.
