Zucchini Goat Cheese Quiche combines creamy goat cheese with sweet zucchini for a delicious dish. It's versatile—perfect as a quick side, yummy breakfast, or simple weeknight dinner. Enjoy this flavorful quiche that fills your kitchen with delicious aromas.
Zucchini is an excellent low-carb and hydrating veggie, making it ideal for light meals. Paired with goat cheese, known for its health benefits and mild, versatile flavor, this quiche offers a satisfying combination of savory and sweet.
Moreover, goat's milk cheese is easier to digest than cow's milk cheese, making it a great option for those with lactose intolerances.
Making the perfect Quiche
Making the perfect quiche starts with a flaky, tender, and buttery crust—it's truly the heart of any delicious quiche. Personally, I always opt for homemade pie crust because the taste and quality far exceed that of store-bought versions.
Making homemade pie crust might seem intimidating, but it's easier than you think and totally worth it. With just three simple ingredients and some helpful tips (check out the full recipe!), you can create a crust that takes your quiche to the next level.
But if you're pressed for time, using store-bought shortcrust pastry works just as well. It's a quick and easy option that still tastes great.
Whether you choose to craft your own crust or opt for the convenience of store-bought, the key is to ensure that the crust is flaky, tender, and perfectly complements the savory filling of the Quiche.
EASY STEPS TO PREPARE
1. Slice the zucchini and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and golden brown.
2. Whisk together the eggs, crème fraiche, milk, salt and pepper
3. Transfer the pie crust to a 23 cm (9-in) pie plate. Spread zucchini evenly over bottom. Pour egg mixture over the top.
4. Â Bake until puffed, lightly browned, about 40 to 45 minutes.
After baking, enjoy the delightful aroma of the freshly made Zucchini Goat Cheese Quiche. This dish is not only delicious but also healthy, packed with nutritional goodness.
With its homemade, flaky crust and creamy goat cheese filling, it's both flavorful and easy to make. Whether you're serving it as a side dish, breakfast, or dinner, this quiche is a wholesome option that's sure to please everyone at the table.
