Ingredients

For the crust

• 2 cups biscuit mix
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For the filling

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
• Fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, melted butter, and garlic powder (if using). Stir until just combined; the mixture will be slightly moist.

🥄 It’s essential to not overmix the dough; just mix until everything is incorporated to keep the crust tender.

3. Spread the dough evenly in the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan. Use your fingers to press it into the shape of the dish.

4. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until well blended.

5. Layer the zucchini: Spread the grated zucchini evenly over the crust. Then, sprinkle the chopped onions and bell peppers over the zucchini.

6. Add the cheese: Pour the egg mixture over the layers, making sure to distribute it evenly, and top with shredded cheese.

7. Bake the quiche: Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

8. Cool and serve: Let the quiche cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

🍽️ Serve warm or at room temperature. This quiche is great on its own but pairs well with a simple green salad or a dollop of sour cream!
