Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your quiche evenly.

- Incorporate vegetables: Gently fold the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare for baking: Grease a pie dish thoroughly to prevent sticking, then pour the prepared mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the quiche: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is firm to the touch and boasts a golden-brown top.
- Cool before serving: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set properly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure your gluten-free flour blend is suitable for baking to achieve the best texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk of your choice.
- Feel free to add other veggies like zucchini or tomatoes according to preference.
- To enhance flavor, add herbs such as thyme or basil into the mixture.
- Allow the quiche to cool slightly; this helps it firm up, making slicing easier.
