Description
A delicious and healthy crustless quiche made with zucchini, tomatoes, and cheese, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the grated zucchini to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is softened and any excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the sautéed zucchini and onion mixture, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese until evenly mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, include cooked bacon or sausage in the mixture before baking.
- Substitute the mozzarella cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different taste profile.
