Instructions
- Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a pie pan.
- Step 2
Shred zucchini using the shredding attachment to a food processor or a box grater (using the finer shred option). Place in a large bowl.
- Step 3
Sprinkle zucchini with 2 teaspoons of the salt, toss well, and let sit for 10-20 minutes. This draws out a lot of the water from the zucchini so that the crust won't end up soggy.
- Step 4
Place the zucchini in a dish towel or cheese cloth and wring out AS MUCH of the moisture as you can. When you think you've gotten it all out, give it a few more squeezes.
- Step 5
Moisture removed, place zucchini in a medium bowl and thoroughly mix in the flour and egg
- Step 6
Put the zucchini mixture into the pie pan and evenly spread it out to the cover the dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until nice and browned.
- Step 7
While crust is baking, put your veggies in a pan to saute and prepare your egg filling....
- Step 8
In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, a cup of milk, thyme, and S&P.
- Step 9
Layer half of the cheese on top of the crust and then evenly spread out half of the bacon on top of that.
- Step 10
Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust followed by the sauteed vegetables, evenly spread out.
- Step 11
Top with the remaining cheese and bacon.
- Step 12
Bake quiche for 35-45 minutes until firm.
- Step 13
ENJOY! You earned this breakfast!
Note
- Step 14
**These veggies measurements are not exact. You can really put more or less as you wish. You mainly just want to end up with about 2 cups of sauteed veggies in the end.
