Description
A fresh, vibrant quiche layered with cheddar, leeks, spinach, basil, goat cheese, and sweet cherry tomatoes baked in a flaky crust—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light spring meal.
Ingredients
1 (9-inch) pie crust
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 leek, chopped
1 (9-oz) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
Most of a 10-oz box cherry tomatoes, halved
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a quiche or pie pan.
- Fit the pie crust into the pan and sprinkle cheddar cheese over the bottom.
- Clean and chop half a leek and scatter it over the cheese.
- Spread the squeezed-dry spinach over the leeks and add chopped basil.
- Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly over the basil.
- Arrange halved cherry tomatoes across the top.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, salt, and pepper for about 1 minute.
- Pour egg mixture over the layered ingredients.
- Place the pan on a baking sheet if needed and bake for 40–50 minutes, until lightly browned and set.
- Cool slightly, slice, and garnish with fresh basil.
Notes
Green onions can replace leeks for a milder flavor.
Substitute part of the almond milk with cream for a richer texture.
Feta makes a great alternative to goat cheese.
Add mushrooms, artichokes, or roasted peppers for more vegetables.
