- Prepare the pie dough according to package directions.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400˚
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the bite size pieces of the zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle with 2-3 tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp of salt and a 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Mix until the pieces are coated in the olive oil.
- Roast for 15 minutes then flip and roast another 10 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚.
- In a medium size bowl add the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and the milk/heavy cream. Whisk until smooth.
- Gently prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust with a fork, then fill it with 1 cup of the roasted vegetables.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture on top of the roasted vegetables.
- Add the caramelized onions if using all over the top of the egg mixture.
- Gently break large and small chunks of goat cheese and place all over the top of the quiche. Don't worry if some sink.
- Place the quiche onto a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the eggs are set and the crust is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche sit for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes
You will not use up all the roasted vegetables. A quick recipe to use up the extra veggies is to warm them and add some good olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, some salt and pepper and enjoy as a side dish. For some reason gluten-free pie crust has sugar in it so the quiche will have a touch of sweetness to it. If you can use the goat cheese that comes in logs, they taste much better than the pre-crumbled version.
