03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder until well combined.
04 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle the cheddar and feta cheese over the top.
05 - Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
06 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the creamy satisfaction of quiche without the buttery crust guilt
  • The vegetable-to-egg ratio means every bite is colorful and bursting with fresh flavor
  • It reheats beautifully for meal prep, making your weekday mornings feel luxurious
02 -
  • Overbaking makes the texture rubbery, so pull it out when just set even if it seems slightly underdone
  • Letting the quiche rest before slicing is non-negotiable unless you want a messy presentation
  • The vegetables release moisture as they cook, so avoid adding extra salt until you taste the final result
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded for better melting and flavor
  • Squeeze excess moisture from spinach after chopping if it seems particularly wet
  • A glass pie dish lets you monitor the browning on the bottom more easily than metal
