Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add 1 tablespoons of olive oil to a saute pan and warm it over medium heat.
Add in ½ cup diced rutabaga and saute for 5 minutes until tender and browned. Add in 1 cup leeks and saute for another minute. Add in 1 cup broccoli and cook for 2 more minutes until florets brighten.
How to Store Leeks: leeks can make other foods smell like leeks. Best not to cut or trim them before storing. Wrap them fully in plastic wrap and place in the vegetable bin. They can keep for up to a few weeks this way.
How to Store Broccoli: trim the end of the broccoli stalk and store them just like cut flowers in the fridge. Broccoli will keep for a few weeks.
Set veggies aside to cool.
Whisk together 6 eggs, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and 1 cup of milk.
Fill the pie plate by layering between the veggies and 1 cup shredded cheese. Add in the egg mixture.
I got this pie plate from my mom. This Town & Country pie plate pattern was produced from 1974 to 1978.
Wrap the edges of the pie plate with aluminum foil or crust shields and bake the quiche for 45 minutes, or until the center is firm but jiggles a bit.
Let cool slightly before serving but this quiche is great warm or cold. Enjoy!
