Recipe collection: Quiche
I usually make quiche with spinach, but the kids hate it and since the husband isn’t here anymore, I wasn’t going to bother. I used grated zucchini instead and not only did it taste better, the kids gobbled it up :D
You’ll have to excuse my measurements, this is one of those homemade things that I eyeball for part of it.
For each pie:
Oven at 350F
Use a refrigerator pie crust (or homemade, I’m lazy) and lay it out in your pie plate.
Whisk together 2 eggs and 1 cup heavy whipping cream or half & half.
Mix 1 baked chicken breast, cubed small, with some cheddar and mozzerella cheese, and shredded zucchini, enough to fill the pie plate 3/4 full, then very slowly pour the egg mixture around. Slow is necessary so the mixture gets down to the bottom.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until it “shakes like jello”. Let set for 10 minutes to let the cheese solidify a little and keep the mess down. Slice, and try not to scarf too fast.

Yum! That looks fantastic and easy. Another good way to use up zucchini is to shred it and saute with garlic, olive oil and crushed red pepper then toss with angel hair pasta and parmesan cheese.
That sounds really good! We don’t eat much zucchini because Marc doesn’t like it, but I could get my mom to make it and invite me over. :D
