Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix chopped zucchini, tomatoes, and onions together and place into a buttered pie plate.
- In a separate bowl, mix Bisquick, milk, and eggs until well combined, then pour over the vegetable mixture.
- Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake at 400°F for 1 hour or until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like basil or oregano into the zucchini mixture. If you don't have Bisquick on hand, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can be a suitable substitute. You can also experiment with different types of cheese based on your preference, such as feta for a tangy twist or a blend of cheeses for a richer taste.
Serving Suggestions

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices back in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes, or microwave them for a quick option, but be cautious not to overcook to keep the texture pleasant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen zucchini in this recipe?
While fresh zucchini is preferred for texture, you can use frozen zucchini. Just make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before mixing it with the other vegetables to prevent the quiche from becoming soggy.
What can I substitute for the eggs?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water equals 1 egg) or a commercial egg replacement product. Keep in mind that this might slightly alter the texture but will still yield a delicious dish.
How do I know when the quiche is done baking?
The quiche is done when the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If it jiggles in the middle, it needs additional baking time. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-browning.
