Zucchini Veggie Quiche Recipes

CRUSTLESS ZUCCHINI QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange sliced tomatoes on paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Leave for a few minutes, then pat dry.
• Meanwhile, in a large cooking skillet, heat 2 tbsp Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add zucchini and shallots. Season with kosher salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp sweet paprika. Raise heat slightly, and sautee, tossing regularly, until vegetables are tender and nicely colored (with some brown spots on zucchini).
• Transfer the cooked zucchini and shallots mixture to the bottom of a lightly oiled 9-inch pie dish like this one. Arrange sliced tomatoes on top. Add mozzarella, and Parmesan (spread evenly across).
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, remaining 1/2 tsp paprika, baking powder, flour, and fresh parsley.
• Pour egg mixture into the pie dish on top of the cheese mixture.
• Bake in 350 degrees F heated-oven for about 30 minutes or until the egg mixture is well set in the dish. Remove from oven and wait 5 to 7 minutes before slicing to serve (Quiche will puff up slightly because of the baking powder, but will quickly go down as it sits.)

CHEESY ZUCCHINI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing filling., In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add zucchini and onion; cook and stir until tender. Drain and cool slightly., Whisk eggs and seasonings until blended. Stir in cheese and zucchini mixture. Spread mustard over pastry shell; add filling., Bake on a lower oven rack until a knife inserted in center comes out clean and crust is golden brown, 35-40 minutes. If needed, cover edge loosely with foil during last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

ZUCCHINI VEGGIE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF (~190ºC). Grease an 8-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, mix all of the ingredients of the crust together until a crumbly dough forms. Pour all of the dough into the pie dish. Spread and flatten the dough on the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. The dough reached about halfway up the sides of the pie dish for me. Chop off the ends of the zucchini and spiralize it using Blade C. Give the zucchini noodles several chops. This will make it easier to cut and serve the quiche later. Chop the part of the zucchini that did not get spiralized into small pieces. NOTE: If you do not own a spiralizer, simply grate the zucchini or create zucchini ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Mix all the vegetables and cheese, and place them into the pie dish. I made sure that some of the zucchini noodles were on top of the quiche, but that is just for presentation. Mix the whisked eggs, milk, thyme, and salt in a small bowl. Fill the pie dish with this egg mixture. Bake the quiche for 30-40 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and the quiche is browned and firm to touch. Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container. NOTE: If you do not have almond meal, just ground about 1 and 1/2 cups of sliced almonds in a food processor. You could also use all-purpose flour if you're not going for a gluten-free crust.
