Instructions:

3. Cook Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced pumpkin and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the sliced red onions and red pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and the fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Prepare Egg Mixture:

- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Scatter the pine nuts over the cheese.
6. Bake:

7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For even cooking, ensure that all vegetables are chopped to similar sizes.

- Sauté the garlic and onions first to enhance their flavors before adding other vegetables.

- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes after baking to help it set before slicing.
