Quiche Zucchini Pie
A savory zucchini pie with a cheesy, flaky crust, perfect for brunch or light dinners, blending fresh vegetables with a rich egg and cheese filling.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the diced squash, chopped onion, Bisquick, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oil, parsley flakes, and salt together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 10-inch pie pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until the top is brown and the filling is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding garlic powder or your favorite herbs to the mixture. You can substitute the squash with other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms if desired. If you're short on time, pre-packaged shredded cheese can be used instead of grating fresh Parmesan. This quiche is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables from dishes like Mushroom, Peas And Asparagus Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
This quiche is delicious served warm or at room temperature. Consider pairing it with a light salad for a refreshing meal. It also makes a great brunch item, alongside dishes like Grandma'S Frozen Fruit Salad or a fruit platter. For a heartier meal, serve with crusty bread or a side of roasted vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for about 1-2 minutes, but the oven method maintains the texture better.
