This base recipe uses a bounty of fresh veggies, but feel free to customize it with spinach and smoked salmon, like my parents do, or any other delicious combination.

How to Make Mom's Quiche

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the crust: If using a store-bought crust, proceed to step 3. If making your own, follow your preferred pie crust recipe.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy milk (or heavy cream), salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Add the chopped vegetables (onions, peppers, zucchini, etc.) to the egg mixture and gently stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
