One-bowl Zucchini Quiche
dalla cucina di “Enzas in the Kitchen", Translation and edit by Joanna Lucarino
Questa è una facile quiche di zucchine da preparare in una sola ciotola.
This is an easy, one-bowl zucchini quiche. It has no pie crust to deal with and just a lot of zucchini goodness! I use organic ingredients whenever possible for extra healthy greatness.
Ingredients:
4 Large eggs
½ C. Oil, I use avocado oil
1 C. Bisquick baking mix
½ C. Grated cheese, your preference
2 Medium-sized zucchini, diced
1 Medium onion, diced
2-3 Garlic cloves, diced
Oregano, salt and pepper, paprika, and parsley for seasonings
Directions:
In a large bowl, stir well the eggs, oil, and Bisquick. Fold in the grated cheese. Add the zucchini. Finally, add the onion and garlic and season with oregano, salt and pepper to your liking. Stir until well blended. Grease a quiche-type dish and fill with the batter. Top with paprika and parsley, dried or fresh. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes until set firm and golden brown on top. Buon appetito! Buon Appetito!
