Quiches are an excellent brunch option that will satisfy your guests appetite, while leaving some extra room to graze on the other goodies you prepare.

By:

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchini - thinly sliced
  • 1 large Vidalia onion - diced
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups half and half
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese - shredded
  • 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 pie crust
Directions
  • Step 1 Blind bake your pie crust. Simply take your pie crust, line it with parchment paper, then add dry beans or baking beads. Bake it for 5 to 7 minutes in a 400 degree oven. I also cover my edges with a crust shield, but you can use tin foil so the crust doesn’t brown to quickly. Remove from oven, remove beans or beads and let stand.
  • Step 2 Sauté onion and zucchini with a couple tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until onions are translucent and zucchini is soft.
  • Step 3 Add onion powder and mix. Remove from heat.
  • Step 4 In a bowl whisk eggs and half and half together.
  • Step 5 Add salt and pepper.
  • Step 6 Assembly quiche. Place half of the onion and zucchini mixture in the baked pie crust. Then half of your cheeses.
  • Step 7 Repeat.
  • Step 8 Pour whisked egg custard over ingredients.
  • Step 9 Place quiche on a baking sheet to prevent spilling into oven. Place tin foil or crust shield over edge of quiche.
  • Step 10 Bake for 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
  • Step 11 Lower temperature to 350 and bake an additional 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and the slightest giggle in center or quiche.
  • Step 12 Enjoy hot or room temperature!
