Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 7 cups (2-2.5 lbs) shredded zucchini (measured before squeezing)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup spelt or whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup any hard cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 cup chives or green onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Instruction

  • Give shredded zucchini a good squeeze to extract as much water as possible. I do it by placing zucchini into a linen towel and wringing into a ball (save the liquid for soup or smoothies). Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray 9" pie dish with cooking spray (I used tart pan lined with parchment). In a medium bowl, add eggs and whisk.
  • Add flour and whisk well to combine (it will take a few minutes). Add both cheeses, salt and pepper, and whisk one more time.
  • To the bowl with zucchini, add chives and mix with spatula. Then pour egg flour mixture on top and stir well to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to previously prepared baking dish and bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Broil for a few minutes for a golden crust. Cool off a bit, cut into 8 slices and enjoy warm or cold (I love cold quiche!).
