Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.

  3. 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.

  4. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the pie crust, making sure everything is evenly coated.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Serve slices of the Roasted Red Pepper and Olive Quiche with a side salad dressed with a simple vinaigrette for a well-rounded meal.
