Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
-
Step 2.
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and chopped green pepper, and sauté until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the tomato wedges, thinly sliced zucchini, chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon garlic salt, and salt and black pepper to taste to the skillet. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
-
Step 4.
While the vegetables cook, place the unbaked 9-inch pie shell in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
-
Step 5.
In a bowl, beat the 6 eggs well, then whisk in 1¼ cups light cream or half-and-half until combined.
-
Step 6.
Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie shell. Spoon the cooked vegetable mixture evenly over the top, distributing it gently.
-
Step 7.
Bake the quiche at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
