Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Place the pie crust in a pie pan, and cover it with a double layer of aluminum foil.

  3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove the foil.

  4. Continue baking until the crust starts to set, about 5 to 7 minutes. Take it out of the oven.

  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour.

  7. Stir in the onion, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, and feta cheese.

  8. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

  9. Pour the mixture into the hot crust.

  10. Bake the quiche at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes to one hour.

  11. To check if it's done, insert a knife into the center of the quiche – it should come out clean.

  12. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

  13. For a healthier version, you can use 1 whole egg and 4 egg whites instead of the 3 eggs.

  14. If using American feta instead of Greek feta, feel free to add more of it.

  15. Keep in mind that vegetables with more moisture may increase the cooking time.
