Courgette quiche is a savory dish rooted in French cuisine, combining the delicate flavors of zucchini (courgette) with a rich egg custard baked in a buttery shortcrust pastry. Typically, the filling includes sliced courgettes, eggs, cream or milk, cheese such as Gruyère or Parmesan, and aromatic seasonings like garlic or thyme. Its nutrient profile is a balance of indulgence and wholesomeness; courgettes add vitamins, minerals, and fiber while keeping the dish light. The eggs provide protein, while the cheese adds calcium. However, the pastry base can be high in saturated fats and calories, depending on preparation. For a healthier take, ingredients like a whole-grain crust or reduced-fat dairy alternatives can be used. Versatile and satisfying, courgette quiche makes an excellent centerpiece for brunch or lunch, offering a harmonious taste of comfort and freshness.
