Pete's Killer Quiche - absolutely delicious - and mostly healthy :-)

This is neither simple or quick.  It is also not the healthiest dish I make, but it is mostly healthy and very tasty.

Fry about 10 pieces of bacon.  Pour off the excess fat and cut into small pieces.  If you are vegetarian you can use a substitute and a spray oil in the frying pan to saute the vegetables.
I eat very little meat and bacon is very rare through this is a very occasional exception for me.

Cut up vegetables.

4-5 cups broccoli
4-5 cups zucchini
4-5 cups peppers
4-5 cups onion
4-5 cups mushrooms
4-5 cups tomatoes (as green as possible)

Start with the hardest vegetables, adding to the frying pan with just a little remaining bacon fat and saute vegetables.  Add one, stir a bit, then add the next until all are semi-soft, but not mushy.

A few cups at a time pour into a food processor and blend just briefly (including the bacon)

Pour into a large bowl.

Add 1 dozen jumbo eggs  I also do not eat a lot of eggs and while there are some good things about eggs, its a good idea not to eat too many too often.

Add 2 lbs pepper-jack cheese  I also do not eat a lot of cheese, but when I do it is a white or lighter colored cheese, which is generally less fat.  For this dish, the pepper-jack is absolutely the best.

Using a ladle add to 6-8 deep dish pie crusts which have not been previously baked.  Whole wheat or oat crust is best.  The ones I used in the video are easy and were just purchased at the store.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake for approximately 1 hour, until you can put a butter knife in and it comes back out clean.

Any you want to save until later, cover with aluminum foil and place in the freezer to be warmed later.

Lately I've been making it without bacon.  The last time I made this, I made 13 quiche.  It took me almost 4 hours.  I gave some away.  Froze some, will take a couple to my daughter, and we'll eat some.

I lightly sauteed:

4 heads of broccoli (I always slice the hard stems into small pieces and start sauteing them early)

1 red onion and 4 Walla Walla onions.

2 large jalapeno, 3 large Anaheim, and  6 small sweet peppers.

5 small zucchini

1 clove of garlic 

2 dozen eggs

2 1/4 pounds pepper jack cheese

and 1/2 cup cilantro.  I did not saute the cilantro.  I cut it into small pieces and added it to the two large bowls I used to mix everything before pouring into the pie shells.
