Ingredients

For the crust

• 2 cups biscuit mix
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup cold milk

For the filling

• 2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix and cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Slowly add the cold milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

🥄 For a flakier crust, ensure your butter is very cold! You can even freeze the butter for about 15 minutes before use.

3. Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Prick the crust gently with a fork to prevent bubbling.

4. Pre-bake the crust: Place the crust in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

5. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, chopped onion, and shredded cheese.

6. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

7. Add the egg mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

8. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.

9. Bake the quiche: Return the quiche to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

10. Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

🧊 You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Quiche can also be frozen; just reheate in a warm oven to keep the crust crisp!
