Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 as needed baking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with baking spray and set aside.
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Slice them thinly into rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince garlic and sauté it in the olive oil for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese until fully combined.
Layer the cooked zucchini slices evenly in the greased pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the zucchini.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the zucchini and cheese, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top of the quiche for added flavor and garnish.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
