Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 small jalapeno peppers
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim the ends and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes if you prefer less heat, then finely dice them.

Step 4

Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender. Stir in the diced jalapenos and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and let the vegetables cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the cooked zucchini and jalapenos evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and slightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
