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

- 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.
