MIX VEGETABLE QUICHE

It is a quick, wholesome and healthy dish that can be prepared within no time. This is one dish which i like to prepare on weekends as a quick breakfast or brunch. The vegetables hidden in this gives vitamins , fibre and minerals. The eggs used as a base gives protein and iron. And calcium from the milk and cheese added. It is a healthy dish for picky eaters who skip their veggies. In this dish you can use any kind of vegetables and combinations, and as many veggies as possible. I had very few veggies in my fridge so i ended up using only those; brocolli, spinach and green capsicum.
You can also use veggies with different colours, to make the dish more clourful and flovourful. I learnt this receipe from one of my friend during my college days, but made some changes to it by using paneer and coriander powder giving it a indian touch

Eggs - 6
Milk - 1/3 cup
Onions - 1/3 cup
Brocolli - 1/2 cup chopped in to 1" pieces

capsicum - 1/2 cup chopped
Salt as required
Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Cheddar cheese and Paneer - 1/2cup finely shredded.

Method-
Take a pan and add oil, to this add onions, saute for few seconds and then add brocolli, spinach and capsicum. Saute the vegetables for 2min and keep aside. Now in a different bowl beat all the 6 eggs and whisk them, to this add milk and cheeses. Mix well and add pepper, coriander powder and required salt. Now take pie shell, spray some cooking spray and spread the sauted vegetables, then add the egg mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 35min. Insert a knife in the center to test if its done. If it comes out clean, it is done or else bake for some more time. Enjoy the yummy quiche.
