This Summer Vegetable Quiche is everything you want from a warm weather dish… light, colourful, and packed with fresh flavour, without anything faffing around. The whole thing comes together in just 30 minutes and serves six in total!

We’ve gone for earthy courgette, sweet red pepper, spring onions, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, then topped everything with juicy tomatoes that bake into the most beautiful finish. As with a lot of our recipes, you’re welcome to mix up the veg to suit your personal preference — just be sure to factor in any calorie differences if you are counting.

We love this recipe because it’s just as happy on a buffet table as it is alongside the barbecue, or sliced up for an easy, light lunch straight from the fridge.

Courgette
I don’t have a spiraliser but I do have a veg chopper with a shredding tool that I found worked really well to get a similar result.
I added mixed herbs which were great.

I am finding my local supermarkets no longer stock quark or fromage frais. What can I use as substitute?

Reply

    SharonWednesday 3rd August 2022

    Hi Margaret, sorry to hear you’re having difficulty finding quark or fromage frais. You could use cottage cheese instead, just blend it until it’s smooth first. Other alternatives are ricotta or Greek yoghurt. Do hope this helps!

Jo ArmstrongFriday 3rd June 2022

Can you use low fat cream cheese as an alternative to quark?

Reply

    HollyMonday 6th June 2022

    Hey Jo, yes you could swap the quark for reduced fat or low fat cream cheese and adjust the calories accordingly, hope that helps!

Can you use fat free yoghurt instead of quark?

Kelly-Ann PignatelliSaturday 6th January 2018

Hi – Can you freeze this once its made? Or how long does it last in the fridge? I am looking to make a couple of these to take to work for lunches.

SharleneWednesday 26th July 2017

Just made this and it’s really watery? I’ve cooked it in a Pyrex dish, could that be the problem?

    Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017

    Hi Sharlene,

    It may have been that your veg had more water in than normal – try giving them a squeeze in a tea towel before putting them in the quiche ????

    Hi Amanda,
    The New Year is a very busy time for us, so the website may be a bit slower than normal due to the high volumes of traffic at certain times of the day 🙂
