Ingredients Needed
- Olive oil (for greasing)
- 6 medium free-range eggs
- 1 bunch of spring onions
- 55g (2 oz) mature Cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
- 1 large courgette (zucchini)
- 300g (10.5 oz) broccoli
- 1 x 250g pack (1 pack, 8.8 oz) of ready-rolled filo pastry
How To Make Vegetarian Quiche Traybake
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Grease a large 25cm by 35cm (10″x14″) roasting tray with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork.
- Layer the Filo Pastry: Layer the Filo sheets into the tray, laying one sheet horizontally and the next vertically, brushing a little egg between each sheet. Ensure the filo covers the base and goes up the sides. Scrunch any excess pastry over the top and give it a final brush with egg.
- Prepare the Filling: Finely slice the spring onions, coarsely grate the Cheddar (reserve a little for the top), grate the courgette (zucchini), and thinly slice the broccoli into florets. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then mix everything together.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the mixture into the prepared pastry case, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved Cheddar over the top.
- Bake: Cook for 35 minutes on the bottom of the oven until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.

Recipe Tips
- Don’t skip the egg brush: Brushing the filo pastry with egg between layers helps it become golden and crisp during baking.
- Season well: Adding sea salt and black pepper to the filling is key to bringing out the natural flavors of the vegetables and cheese.
- Layer the filo properly: Be sure to layer the filo sheets both horizontally and vertically, pressing them up the sides of the tray to create a sturdy base.
- Check the pastry: Keep an eye on the pastry as it bakes. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover the top loosely with foil to prevent burning.
How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover quiche cool to room temperature, then cover and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: To freeze, wrap the quiche tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. It will last in the freezer for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Place the quiche on a baking tray and cover it loosely with foil to prevent the pastry from burning. Heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until hot throughout.
