Ingredients:
- 1 medium zucchini, shredded
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish or quiche dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Shred the zucchini using a grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze out the excess moisture to avoid a soggy quiche.
- Mix the Eggs and Seasonings:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk (or skim milk). Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Quiche:
- Spread the shredded zucchini evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese. Use a spoon to gently stir the ingredients to ensure even distribution.
- Bake the Quiche:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
- Serve:
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Customize the Veggies: You can add other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Add Protein: To make it more filling, consider adding cooked turkey bacon, lean ham, or cooked chicken.
- Storage: This quiche can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, and it also freezes well for meal prep. Just slice it and freeze individual portions for a quick meal later.
