Zucchini works well in pasta and in salad or even grilled on the barbecue. Zucchini can also be used to make a fantastic quiche. There are plenty of ways to do it, some more elaborate than others. Here is an easy zucchini quiche recipe that can be ready in a little over an hour.
Instructions
1. Saute the zucchini, garlic and onion in a medium skillet over medium heat (butter the skillet first). Stir frequently to ensure that the mixture doesn't burn.
2. Put the zucchini mixture in the pie crust along with the cheese. Spread it out evenly over the pie crust, but don't pack it down. You want space in the crust for the egg mixture to fill in.
3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add in the cream, milk and other wet ingredients. Blend them together well, but don't beat the mixture as this will aerate it too much.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust, over the broccoli mixture. Pour it evenly so that it distributes throughout the broccoli and fills in the space. You can also tap the crust against a hard surface to help release any air pockets in the quiche.
5. Bake in a 375-degree oven for at least 45 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is completely cooked.
