directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch tart or pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and prebake for 10 minutes.

In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the green onions and zucchini for 3-4 minutes until just softened. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the prebaked crust. Arrange asparagus tips and cherry tomato halves on top for a decorative finish.

Sprinkle cheese over the vegetables, then pour the egg mixture over everything.

Bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
