Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup asparagus (chopped)
- 1 cup bell peppers (diced)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a frozen pie crust, let it thaw slightly before pressing into the pie pan.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté diced bell peppers until softened. Add chopped asparagus and spinach until just wilted.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth. Stir in sautéed vegetables, salt, pepper, and crumbled feta.
- Pour the vegetable-egg mixture into the prepared pie crust evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is set. Insert a knife to check doneness; it should come out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
