Zucchini quiche

A zucchini quiche is a delightful and savory dish perfect for any meal of the day. This quiche combines the mild flavor of zucchini with creamy milk, rich heavy cream, and the sharp taste of parmesan cheese, all nestled in a buttery homemade crust. It's an easy-to-make recipe that brings both comfort and nutrition to the table.

Ingredients:

1.25 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
160g
2 tsp sugar
10g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup water
120g
1/8 cup scallions
14g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
2 zucchini
400g
4 eggs
200g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

2. Cook the Vegetables:
- While the dough chills, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced scallions and cook until they become fragrant and tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still holds its shape. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Roll Out the Dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and flute the edges if desired.
5. Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, then gently fold in the cooked scallions and zucchini.
6. Assemble the Quiche:
- Pour the prepared filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake the Quiche:
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing to give the filling time to set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For a flakier crust, make sure your butter is cold when you incorporate it into the flour mixture.

- Blind bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the zucchini filling to avoid a soggy bottom.

- Slice the zucchini thinly and evenly for a consistent texture.

- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for additional flavor and nutrients.

- If you prefer a richer taste, use whole milk instead of 1% milk.

- Let the quiche rest for a few minutes before slicing; this helps set the filling and makes cutting easier.

- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the crust's crispness.

Your zucchini quiche is now ready to be savored. With its golden-brown crust, creamy filling, and delectable zucchini slices, this quiche promises to be a hit at your table. Whether you're serving it at a brunch, lunch, or dinner, it's sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy your delicious and wholesome zucchini quiche!
