Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 9" frozen deep dish pie crust
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 yellow onion, peeled & diced
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full fat milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add zucchini, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until zucchini is slightly tender. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth.
- Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet. Layer sautéed zucchini and onions evenly in the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the zucchini and cheese, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to the egg mixture.
- Pre-cooking the zucchini prevents excess moisture from making the quiche soggy.
- Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar or Gruyere for a richer taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
