Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Pour mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the quiche is set and golden on top.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
