To make these rich, fluffy quiches, we’re mixing a base of creamy ricotta and eggs with earthy sautéed mushrooms and sweet roasted peppers, for pops of brightness. A side of oregano-seasoned potato (which goes into the oven along with the quiches) gets another fragrant lift from lemon juice.

Preparation

    Prepare the ingredients:

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the peppers. Halve the potato lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Quarter and deseed the lemon.

  2. 2

    Cook the mushrooms & onion:

    In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced
    mushrooms and sliced
    onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Make the filling:

    Crack the eggs into a large bowl; beat until smooth. Whisk in the ricotta cheese and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the cooked mushrooms and onion and chopped peppers. Stir to thoroughly combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble the quiches & season the potato:

    Place the pie crusts on a sheet pan, leaving them in their tins. Divide the filling between the crusts. Top with the crumbled cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Place the sliced
    potato on a separate sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the oregano; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer.

  5. 5

    Bake the quiches & potato:

    Bake the quiches and seasoned potato 18 to 20 minutes, or until the quiche filling is cooked through and the potato is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Let the baked quiches stand for at least 2 minutes before serving.

    Finish & plate your dish:

    Evenly top the roasted potato with the juice of 2 lemon wedges. Serve the baked
    quiches with the finished potato and remaining lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
