Zucchini Quiche Recipe

zucchini quicheMy Mom and Dad always planted a vegetable garden in their backyard where they happily grew produce, which we enjoyed for months. They would grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, and basil. Mom was ingenious in planning meals around their crop of vegetables.

Mom and Dad would always have an abundance of zucchini and Mom came up with some delicious ways to prepare zucchini. One I especially enjoyed was her version of Zucchini Crustless Quiche. It is a simple dish to prepare and can be served as an entree or a side dish served warm, or at room temperature. This is an inexpensive and delicious dish to prepare especially when zucchini is in season during the late summer months.

    Hello, thank you for your recipe. It was really easy and quick to make. I like the fact that I didn’t have to make a crust. I didn’t even have bisquick and used another pancake mix I had instead, and it still turned out great! Thanks a lot 🙂

    Hi Eva:

    Thanks for your lovely comment and also sharing with all of us that a pancake mix other than Bisquick works well in this recipe.

    Hi, I just found you site on youtube. Thank you for being such a calm person while teaching cooking. I am not young in age, but young with cooking experience. I have two daughters, ages 8 and 10.

      Hi Patty,
      I thank you for the comment and it pleases me to know that you are encouraging your daughters at a young age to cook. I started at age 9 and am so thankful for the early introduction to cooking by my Mother and Aunts. Not only teaching our children the joy of cooking, it gives us that special time to spend together. Happy New Year and God bless you and your family.
