– 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press it gently into the edges.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté the zucchini slices for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.
4. Tip: Let the zucchini cool slightly to prevent the eggs from curdling when mixed later.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
6. Spread 1 cup shredded cooked chicken evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
7. Layer the sautéed zucchini on top of the chicken in the crust.
8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the zucchini layer.
9. Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or oregano to the egg mixture.
10. Pour the egg mixture slowly over the layers in the pie crust, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
11. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
12. Tip: Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
13. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
14. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Very creamy and satisfying, this quiche has a tender crust with juicy zucchini and savory chicken in every bite. Try it with a side salad for a light meal, or slice it up for easy leftovers—it reheats beautifully in the oven or microwave.
