Ingredients
2 cups Zucchini, grated (About 2 medium zucchinis)
1 pint Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (Or 2 medium regular tomatoes, diced)
6 large Eggs (Farm fresh if possible!)
1/2 cup Milk or half-and-half (Whole milk works best for creaminess)
1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (Or Monterey Jack, Swiss, or a blend)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Adds a salty, nutty depth)
1/4 cup Fresh basil, chopped (Or 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning)
1 clove Garlic, minced (Optional, but recommended)
1/2 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp Black pepper (Freshly ground is best)
1 tbsp Olive oil (For greasing the pan)
Instructions
1. 1. Prepare Zucchini: First, grate the zucchini. Then, place it in a colander, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. This step draws out excess moisture. Firmly squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. This prevents a watery crustless zucchini tomato quiche.
2. 2. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Next, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil.
3. 3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, remaining salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the squeezed zucchini, halved tomatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, and minced garlic (if using).
4. 4. Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
5. 5. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
6. 6. Cool and Serve: Finally, let the Crustless Zucchini Tomato Quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set properly for the perfect slice.
