Delicious and Nutritious Roast Vegetable Quiche

Delicious and Nutritious Roast Vegetable Quiche

For many of us, planning what to have for dinner every single night of the week is really quite a bore! And to be honest, it’s just another job to add to the never-ending list of things to do. So I’m here to take the hassle out of deciding what to cook for your family tonight with my Quick & Easy Roast Vegetable Quiche.

Yep, you can have dinner whipped up in no time at all and you’ll be able to kick back and relax for the night (or more likely, run around doing the other zillion jobs that are calling your name – overflowing laundry basket anyone?).

Even though I like my dinners to be quick and easy, I also want them to be healthy and include lots of yummy vegetables. This Roast Vegetable Quiche ticks all of those boxes!

It’s also a great way to use up any leftover roast vegetables you have in the fridge – and that will save you even more time too.

Best of all, this quiche tastes great served warm or cold for lunch the next day. I’m sure I’m not the only one who LOVES having leftovers for lunch!

So let’s get into the recipe:
