Easy Crustless Zucchini Quiche Recipe: This crustless zucchini quiche recipe is bursting with summery flavor, thanks to tender slices of zucchini nestled into fluffy, seasoned, cheesy eggs. Just like with Instant Pot crustless quiche or spinach quiche, there’s no need to fuss with dough for this quiche with zucchini — just pour and bake!
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the zucchini slices and season with dried basil. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook zucchini for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally but not constantly, until soft and starting to brown.
- Make a well in the middle and add the minced garlic (add more oil if necessary). Saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant, then stir the garlic into the zucchini and onions.
- Transfer half of the zucchini mixture to the bottom of a 9 inch (23 cm) round pie pan (or an 8×8 inch square baking pan). Sprinkle half of both cheeses over the zucchini. Top with the remaining zucchini and then the remaining cheeses.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, sea salt, and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan over the zucchini.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until set.
