  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium zucchini, shredded and squeezed dry (to remove excess water)
  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or Swiss/Gruyère)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven & dish
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cook onion & zucchini

    • Sauté onion until soft and translucent (about 3 minutes).
    • Add shredded zucchini and cook 2–3 minutes until moisture is released.
    • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the egg mixture
    • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the quiche
    • Spread zucchini-onion mixture evenly in the pie dish.
    • Pour the egg mixture over it.
    • Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
    • Arrange sliced tomato on top.
  5. Bake
    • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
    • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve
    • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Add cooked bacon, ham, or turkey for extra protein.
  • Use a mix of cheeses (cheddar + feta works great).
  • Make ahead and reheat slices for quick breakfasts.
