This mediterranean quiche is all that and more. To make this quiche, you will need a red onion, one red bell pepper, a clove of garlic, a large and juicy tomato, one medium zucchini, 7 mint leaves, 1 premade roll of pastry dough (we always use organic), 3 eggs, some cream and your favorite cheese (we used swiss emmental but cheddar would taste amazing too). We use a combination of spices that we love called ras-el-hanout. If you can't find it near you, that's fine. You can replace it with 1 tsp of curry powder instead. (The spice combination is similar.) If you'd like to learn more about cooking with spices, download our free printable spice guide.
