Ingredients list for the zucchini quiche recipe

• 1 lb (500 g) organic zucchini
• 2 organic eggs
• 5 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 large organic shallot

9. Grease a rectangular baking dish and pour the mixture into it.
1o. The thickness of this one should be about 1-2 cm at most.
11. Add the olive oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a hot oven at 410 °C (210 °C).
12. The top of the quiche should be golden brown, as well as the edges.
13. To taste barely warm or cold.

Tips

It is important to drain the zucchinis well, as they will release a lot of water, resulting in a very muddy dough that will not bake well.
We can vary the cheeses to replace Parmesan: pecorino, Grana Padano, dried goat cheese, tomme, or feta.
You can also put fresh mint, sage, fresh thyme, marjoram, or oregano as aromatic herbs.
