Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1 medium (shredded) zucchini
• 1 cup (chopped) spinach
• 1 small (diced) onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or equivalent-sized baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the chopped spinach and shredded zucchini. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the vegetables soften slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve and enjoy warm, room temperature, or chilled!
