YIELD: 8 servings.Ingredients
- 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup small fresh broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet orange pepper
- 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1-1/3 cups half-and-half cream
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°. Unroll pie crust onto a lightly floured surface, roll to a 12-in. circle. Transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate; trim and flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
- 2. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute onion, mushrooms, broccoli and peppers until mushrooms are lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Cool slightly.
- 3. Whisk together eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over crust; top with spinach and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Pour in egg mixture.
- 4. Bake on a lower oven rack 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. (Cover edge loosely with foil if necessary to prevent overbrowning.) Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
