Ingredients

• 2 medium (about 1 pound total) zucchini
• 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Shred the zucchini with a box grater or food processor, then place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible to prevent the quiche from becoming soggy.

Step 3

Slice the grape or cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the shredded zucchini, tomatoes, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and parsley (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then slowly whisk this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain.

Step 7

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish and gently smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange a few extra tomato halves or a sprinkle of cheese on top for garnish if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Step 9

Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or chilled!
