Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis grated
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

  • Begin by washing your zucchinis and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Using a box grater or food processor, grate the zucchinis into fine shreds. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the quiche from becoming watery. Next, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.

Step 2: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or pie dish with the olive oil to prevent sticking. The olive oil will also add a subtle richness to the crustless quiche.

Step 3: Combine the Egg Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until smooth and well combined. Add in the salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Whisk again to blend all the seasonings evenly.

Step 4: Mix in the Vegetables and Cheese

  • Add the squeezed zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Pour and Bake

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top. To check doneness, insert a toothpick or knife in the center; it should come out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  • Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the quiche firm up, making it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
