Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 2 cups shredded) zucchini
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (or as needed for greasing) olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
In the same bowl with the zucchini, add the finely diced onion, minced garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined and smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the zucchini mixture and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the quiche is set in the center. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
