Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
In a sauté pan, melt butter of high heat. Add the pepper, onion and zucchini to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the cooked vegetables into the 2 pie crusts, dividing equally. Add the cheese, dividing it evenly.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the half and half, sour cream, garlic powder, cumin and thyme to the bowl. Whisk aggressively until the mixture is uniform and has a small froth. The froth is a sign of oxidation and that the ingredients are well mixed. Add the salt and pepper to the bowl.
Step 4
Fill each pie crust to half full with the egg mixture.
Step 5
Bake both quiches (on a large cookie or baking sheet) for 20-25 minutes. Check every 10 minutes. The quiche is done when the top rises a bit over the pie shell, like a small dome. Let cook for 5-7 minutes before cutting.
