Crustless Zucchini Quiche
Simple crustless zucchini quiche recipe with fresh herbs, tomatoes, and shallots. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 medium tomato, sliced into thin rounds
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 3 shallots, sliced into rounds
- 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika (divided)
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour, sifted
- Packed 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Get ready. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie dish.
- Expel the tomatoes’ excess water. Arrange sliced tomatoes on paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Leave for a few minutes, then pat dry.
- Meanwhile, soften the vegetables. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the zucchini and shallots. Season half of the paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper. Raise heat slightly and saute, tossing regularly, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown.
- Make the vegetable “crust.” Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared pie dish, pressing to spread across the bottom. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over top.
- Make the quiche filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining paprika, baking powder, flour, and parsley. Pour the egg mixture into the pie dish on top of the cheese mixture.
- Bake the quiche. Bake in the hot oven until the egg mixture is well set, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and wait 5 to 7 minutes. (Quiche will puff up slightly because of the baking powder, but will quickly go down as it sits.) Slice and enjoy!
