I figured since this had zucchini in it it was healthy. Right? Anything with zucchini is healthy. =o) And I do love quiche. So I decided to make a quiche using zucchini. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect since I’ve never had a quiche with zucchini in it but I felt adventurous today.
Zucchini Bacon and Cheese Quiche
Adapted from: Food Network.com
* 1 9 inch pie crust (refrigerated or homemade)
* 10 strips of bacon, cooked
* 1 cup shredded mozarrella
* uncooked, sliced zucchini (enough to cover the bottom of the crust)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup milk
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/2 tsp. dry ground mustard
* 1/2 tsp. pepper
Place a layer of zucchini in the bottom of the pie crust.
Top with crumbled bacon and cheese.
In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients and pour into pie crust.
Cook in a 375 degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes (until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.)
Now that’s my idea of healthy!

Mmmm… I love quiche! This recipe sounds wonderful, too. ‘Definitely putting zucchini, bacon and chesse on the grocery shopping list. OK. OK. The bacon and cheese were already on the list! 😉 Adding zucchini! Thanks for sharing the recipe at Wednesday’s Adorned From Above Blog Hop! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
This sounds delicious! Thanks so much for linking up to Friday Food Frenzy!

If you have ever wondered how to make quiche and thought it was a complex dish to master, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover just how easy it can be to make this tasty recipe. There are actually many different types of quiche recipes; however, all quiche recipes typically include some of the same basic ingredients.
Love this recipe and will try it – thanks! Wanted to share another way to make quiche crust, use almond meal/flour. A friend shared this recipe w/ me and it’s a perfect crust for quiche that has veggies in it. I’ll try it with your recipe, above. Link below is where I’ve posted the almond meal crust recipe (it’s very easy).
