Zucchini and Goat Cheese Crustless Quiche

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. Sauté the vegetables
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly softened but not mushy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Prepare the egg mixture
   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined. Stir in the fresh thyme and basil.
4. Assemble the quiche
   Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the prepared pie dish, spreading them evenly. Sprinkle half of the crumbled goat cheese over the vegetables. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese. Top with the remaining goat cheese and the grated Parmesan.
5. Bake the quiche
   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Insert a knife into the center – if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
6. Rest and serve
   Allow the quiche to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set fully and makes it easier to cut clean slices. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad for a complete meal.
