Keto Crustless Zucchini Quiche: A Deliciously Guilt-Free Breakfast Delight
Ingredients
- 2 cup grated zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F.
2. Drain the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out any excess moisture.
3. Remove Excess Moisture: After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible.
4. Cook the Zucchini and Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the grated zucchini and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Mix the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
6. Combine the Ingredients: Add the cooled zucchini mixture, fresh basil, and chives to the egg-cheese mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
7. Bake the Quiche: Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the quiche is set in the center.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
The quiche can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
