This is perfect dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, brunch or even dinner.

I made it Monday night with all the veggies I had that needed to be used up.

I think the most time consuming part of this recipe, besides it baking for 45 minutes, is chopping the vegetables.

I thought it was super delicious.

I did substitute the colby-monterey cheese for cheddar because that's what I had on hand.

Ingredients:

1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup sliced onion

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced

1/2 cup chopped zucchini

1 large tomato, sliced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons dried basil

3 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey

Jack cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake pie crust in preheated oven until firm, about 8 minutes. Remove crust from oven and set aside. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.
Sprinkle tomato slices with flour and basil; cook in the skillet for 1 minute per side.
Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
Spread 1 cup Colby-Monterey Jack cheese in the bottom of pie crust. Layer vegetable mixture over the cheese and top with the tomatoes. Pour egg mixture into pie shell. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese atop the quiche.
Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
