Tips for making the best crustless zucchini quiche

Zucchini is one vegetable that works great in quiche. If you need a non-dairy kosher-parve version of zucchini quiche, I have the perfect recipe for you!

First, I have some tips that will help you make the perfect quiche every single time:

Use light-skinned zucchinis

I use light skin zucchinis because they tend to have a less bitter taste; if you cannot find them and want to use the darker ones, peel them to reduce their bitterness. Yellow zucchini will work great too.

Make it gluten-free

I used breadcrumbs and all-purpose flour in this quiche. If you need it to be gluten-free, I suggest using gluten-free all-purpose flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour.

Grease the pie plate

If you don't want this quiche sticking to your pie plate, grease it with nonstick spray. You could also place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of the pie plate.

Why is my zucchini quiche watery?

Many different types of vegetables release water as they cook, and zucchini is known to do this.

To avoid your quiche becoming too watery,

• Grate your zucchini in a bowl.

Do you cook vegetables before putting them in quiche?

For this specific recipe, no, it is not necessary to cook the zucchini before. The only thing I cooked beforehand was sautéing the onions to add the quiche mixture. It gives the onions a yummy caramelized flavor.

This recipe will make enough to feed about 10 people. I baked mine in a 24cm/9.5-inch pie plate. You could also make mini quiche muffin cups. Just pour the batter into a muffin tin instead of a pie plate.

How do I store this quiche to enjoy later?

You can store crustless zucchini quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It's essential to keep your quiche covered so it doesn't dry out in the fridge. Just make sure it's completely cooled before storing it.

If you want, you can even freeze the quiche. To do this, place each slice in a zipper-lock bag and freeze for up to three months. Then, when you're ready to enjoy it, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
