Ingredients

For the Crust: (Skip for a crustless version)

1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade)

1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

For the Filling:

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced or grated

3 large eggs

1 cup milk (or half-and-half for creaminess)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère)

½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

¼ cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

**Prepare the Crust *(Skip if making crustless)***

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and trim any excess edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Brush lightly with olive oil and pre-bake for 8 minutes until slightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.

Add zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Make the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir in cheese and fresh herbs.

Assemble & Bake

Spread the sautéed zucchini mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Tips and Tricks

✔ Don’t overcook the quiche – Bake just until the center is set to avoid a dry texture.

✔ For extra flavor – Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or a touch of Dijon mustard to the egg mixture.

✔ Make it crustless – Simply grease the pan and pour the filling in—bake as directed!

✔ Use different cheeses – Try feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella for a unique flavor twist.

✔ Make ahead friendly – Quiche stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

🌿 Make It Your Own – Try:

Protein-Packed Quiche 🍗
- Add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for extra flavor.
- Stir in crumbled feta or goat cheese for a creamy, tangy touch.
Mediterranean Style 🌿
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist.
- Use a whole wheat crust for extra fiber.

How to Serve

This Zucchini Quiche is versatile and pairs well with:

✔ A Simple Green Salad – Light and refreshing with a lemon vinaigrette.

✔ Fresh Fruit – A side of berries, melon, or citrus balances the richness.

✔ Roasted Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes – A heartier side for brunch or dinner.
