Ingredients
- 1 Pre-Made Pie Crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 1 pound Zucchini, (sliced thin with skin on)
- 1 1/4 Cups Mozzarella Cheese (shredded, divided (any cheese works))
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 375℉.
-
Prepare your pie crust according to recipe directions or line a pie dish with a store-bought pie crust.
-
In a large skillet add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add sliced zucchini and cook for 4-6 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool while you prepare the rest of the filling.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
To assemble to the pie, add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the bottom of the prepared crust. Layer the softened zucchini on top of the cheese.
-
Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
-
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set. If the crust edges begin to brown, use a pie shield or foil wrapped around the edge. Let the quiche sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
