Other ingredients that can be used
Another reason to love quiche recipes- they are versatile!
Fresh herbs and feta cheese is always delicious. Bacon, pancetta or sausage and mozzarella cheese can be added to the egg mixture. Or you can make it an all cheese quiche.
Heavy cream can be substituted with milk or a plant based such as almond milk.
If you can’t locate lemon infused goat cheese, regular goat cheese can be used and add lemon zest.
Yellow onion, green onions or sweet onions are delicious.
Different veggies will work for this crustless quiche such as broccoli and use cheddar cheese or spinach with parmesan cheese.
Cooking spray/nonstick spray or olive oil works if you don’t want to use butter for the prepared pan.
Preparing zucchini for quiche
Most recipes call for grated zucchini which is done by using a regular grater. But a great way to get zucchini grated fast is by using a food processor. Wash the zucchini and cut off the ends. Then cut it into about 2-3 chunks, depending on the size of your food processor. Place it in the food processor and on chop mode, pulse for about 15 seconds or until its completely chopped.
Using the food processor really gives you the perfect shredded zucchini in no time!
Then place the zucchini on paper towels and place another paper towel on top. Press down to release the excess liquid from the zucchini. You would prepare the zucchini the same way if you were using it for chocolate zucchini bread or muffins.
