Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen depending on the season
- 1 large zucchini
- 4 medium carrot
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 clove of garlic
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Herbes de Provence
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. You can use Swiss cheese or any other cheese of your choice
- 15 grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375F
- In a large skillet heat olive oil. Add onions and corn and cook on medium-high heat for 15 minutes or until the onions are golden, but not brown. Stirring frequently. If the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan add 2 tablespoons of water at a time to prevent them from burning.
- While the onions are cooking shred the carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash using a food processor or a hand box grater. Add the veggies, salt, pepper, and Herbes de Provence to the pan.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and any water they have released has cooked out. Taste the veggies and adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Place the cooked veggies in a bowl and let them cool slightly. Add the egg and cheese and pour into a round pie plate or into a springform pan. See note 1
- Place the tomatoes around the edge of the pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the egg is cooked.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- It doesn't matter what size pan you use. It's up to you if you want a taller crustless quiche or a thinner one. The bigger the pan or pie plate the thinner the quiche. Just take into consideration that a thinner quiche will cook faster. Set your timer to 30 minutes and check it for doneness.
- Use any veggies you have in your fridge, make sure to cook them first.
- Freeze leftover quiche in individual portions for a grab-and-go breakfast.
- Serve it with a salad, pan con tomate or focaccia
