This marvelous zucchini quiche, chock full of vegetables, came together easily for a nice Sunday lunch with leftovers for then next day. You can modify this with other vegetables as well but let me tell you when this was cooking it smelled like pizza!
Zucchini Quiche
Ingredients
1 Sweet Red Pepper, chopped
1 zucchini (green) or one yellow squash (or both if you like :-) - sliced and quartered
1 chopped onion
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (fresh grated so it's just cheese, nothing with preservatives in it)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 pinch of black pepper
1 pinch of salt
1 cup baby spinach chopped
8 eggs
6 strips of cooked bacon crumbled. Use natural bacon (no nitrates) if possible.
Crust:
1 large sweet potato, finely chopped (use food processor)1 TBSP olive oil
Directions:
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees
Combine olive oil and grated sweet potatoes and spread evenly in a pie plate baking dish. Bake the crust for about 25 mins or until it's slightly browned. Will depend on if you use a glass or metal pan.
Mixture:
Mix eggs separately then pour over and mix together with remaining ingredients. Pour over the baked sweet potato crust. Bake 1 hour or until when inserting a knife it comes out clean.
This stuff smelled like pizza when it was cooking!
