Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini (3 grated & 1 sliced)
- 5 large eggs
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round pan.
- Trim zucchini ends and coarsely grate zucchini. Place the zucchini in a colander set over a large bowl. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt over the grated zucchini. With your hands or a spoon, press the zucchini so that excess liquid runs out of the colander and into the bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent (2-3 minutes). Add the grated zucchini, salt, and pepper and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and add the cooked zucchini, baby spinach, parsley and grated cheese. Mix to combine, then add the remaining olive oil. Mix again to combine well.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Top with sliced zucchini and tomato and bake for 35-40 minutes, until it’s light golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Testing for doneness: In addition to the quiche being lightly golden on top, I also like to make a small cut in the center of the quiche with a sharp knife. If I don’t see any raw egg inside, then the quiche is done.
- Storage: This zucchini quiche can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrap in saran wrap or store in an air-tight container (freezer-safe container if freezing).
