Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, sauté the zucchini and red bell pepper until just soft, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk, Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Arrange the sautéed vegetables and tomato slices evenly in the pastry crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, and top with the grated cheese.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown on top. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean.
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For added flavor, swap Comté or Swiss cheese with Gruyère, cheddar, or goat cheese.

Add extra vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or leeks for a nutrient boost.

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pastry crust or make a crustless quiche.

Use fresh herbs like rosemary or sage for a different flavor profile.
