1️⃣ Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside.

2️⃣ Cook the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

Add:

  • Onion → cook until soft
  • Mushrooms → cook until browned and moisture evaporates
  • Zucchini → sauté for 2–3 minutes

Stir in the cooked bacon and set the mixture aside to cool slightly.

3️⃣ Make the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • Eggs
  • Heavy cream
  • Milk
  • Salt, pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Thyme

4️⃣ Assemble the Quiche

Spread the vegetable and bacon mixture evenly over the crust.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Pour the egg mixture over everything.

5️⃣ Bake

Bake in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

6️⃣ Cool & Serve

Let the quiche rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
