How to make crustless zucchini quiche

Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Start by grating the zucchini using the larger holes of your grater. Put it to the side. Now, heat up some olive oil in a 9-inch (23cm) cast iron pan on medium-high heat. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes until it’s soft.

Time to add the grated zucchini and cook it until the water disappears. Take it off the heat and let it cool down a little. In a big bowl, crack the eggs, and add salt, pepper, and a bit of nutmeg. Don’t forget to throw in some fresh parsley and oregano too. Mix it all up really well.

Pour in the cream and add the cheese. Give it a good stir until everything’s mixed. Now, pour this mixture over the onion and zucchini blend in the pan. Stick it in the oven and let it bake for roughly 25 minutes until it’s a nice golden color or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.

Once it’s out, wait around 10 minutes before digging in. You can enjoy it with a fresh salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal. Time to eat up and enjoy your homemade treat!
