I love that this zucchini quiche is perfect for a quick low carb breakfast, a healthy snack, or a light dinner! Eat it hot, cold, or standing in front of the fridge!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pie Crust I use my low carb pie crust
  • 12 Pieces Prosciutto
  • 4 Zucchinis
  • 6 Eggs large
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt plus more to sweat the zucchini
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Thyme chopped
  • 1 Cup Goat Cheese crumbled

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Prep 1 pie crust according to crust's instructions and place in a 9" pie or quiche pan.
  • Use a mandoline to julienne 4 zucchinis into 1/4" strips.
  • Toss zucchini in a colander and sprinkle heavily with salt. Toss to ensure it's evenly coated and allow the zucchini to sweat for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, run the zucchini under water and dap off with paper towels until dry.
  • Roll the zucchinis into roses and fit them into the pie pan. For less work: slice the julienned zucchini into quarters and toss them into the pie pan.
  • Whisk 6 large eggs,1 cup heavy cream,1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon chopped thyme.
  • Stir in 1 cup goat cheese.
  • Pour into the pie pan and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is firm and the edges begin to brown.
  • Allow quiche to cool before slicing, and enjoy!
