Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and grate the zucchini. Place the grated zucchini in a clean towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Wash, peel, and grate the carrots.
- Heat a bit of your chosen cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the grated zucchini and carrots to the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
- Season the vegetables with a little salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack all 12 eggs.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are well beaten and combined.
- Season the egg mixture with a bit more salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the sautéed vegetables to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Lightly grease your oven-safe dish with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is firm and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Vegetable Prep: Ensure your vegetables are evenly sliced or grated for a uniform texture throughout the quiche. This will help them cook evenly and enhance the appearance of the final dish.
- Seasoning: Don’t forget to season your vegetables with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like. This will add extra flavor to your quiche.
- Whisking the Eggs: Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air and create a fluffy texture. You can add a splash of non-dairy milk for extra creaminess if desired.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the quiche towards the end of the baking time. It’s done when the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean. If it starts to brown too much on top before the center is set, you can cover it loosely with foil.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice. It’s delicious warm or at room temperature.
This Practical Paleo Swirly Crustless Quiche is a fantastic addition to your meal rotation. It's not only nourishing but also visually appealing with its colorful swirls of vegetables. Enjoy this healthy and scrumptious dish straight from the oven or as a convenient meal prep option.
