Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch store bought or homemade pie dough Use gluten-free if needed
  • 1 small Eggplant, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 small Zucchini, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tsp Salt, divided
  • 3/4 tsp Black Pepper 1/2 tsp for veggies, 1/4 tsp for filling
  • 2-3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Eggs, large
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder omit if using caramelized onions
  • 1/2 cup Milk/Heavy Cream
  • 1/8 cup Caramelized Onions (optional)
  • 2 oz Goat Cheese 1/2 of a 4 oz log

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pie dough according to package directions.

Roast The Vegetables

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400℉
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the bite size pieces of the zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle with 2-3 tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp of salt and a 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Mix until the pieces are coated in the olive oil.
  • Roast for 15 minutes then flip and roast another 10 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350℉.

Prepare the Quiche Filling

  • In a medium size bowl add the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and the milk/heavy cream. Whisk until smooth.
  • Gently prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust with a fork, then fill it with 1 cup of the roasted vegetables.
  • Slowly pour the egg mixture on top of the roasted vegetables.
  • Add the caramelized onions if using all over the top of the egg mixture.
  • Gently break large and small chunks of goat cheese and place all over the top of the quiche. Don't worry if some sink.
  • Place the quiche onto a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the eggs are set and the crust is golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the quiche sit for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

You will not use up all the roasted vegetables. A quick recipe to use up the extra veggies is to warm them and add some good olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, some salt and pepper and enjoy as a side dish.
For some reason gluten-free pie crust has sugar in it so the quiche will have a touch of sweetness to it.
If you can use the goat cheese that comes in logs, they taste much better than the pre-crumbled version.
