Southwestern Zucchini Ham Crustless Quiche
Report
This fabulous Southwestern Zucchini Ham Crustless Quiche is healthy, hearty and super delicious. It comes together quickly and is a great way to use up leftover ham (or just purchase a chunk of ham from the deli)!

Ingredients
- 1 medium-size zucchini
- 8 ounces cans mild green chilies well-drained (I use 2 4-ounce cans)
- 1 ¼ cups diced smokey ham (diced fairly small)
- 1 ½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- 5 large eggs
- ¾ cup half and half
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Spray a 9-inch quiche pan or baking dish generously with non-stick baking spray.
- Slice the zucchini thinly and place in a sieve set in the sink or over a bowl. Sprinkle the zucchini with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and toss with your hands. Allow to drain for 15-20 minutes then rinse the zucchini under cool running water. Transfer the slices to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
- Combine the drained green chilies, the ham, the zucchini and the cheese in a medium-size bowl. Stir gently to combine. Turn the mixture out into the prepared pan.
- Combine the eggs, half and half oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl or measuring up and stir vigorously with a fork or whisk until well combined.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture over the filling working your way around the pan.
- Bake the quiche for 25-35 minutes or until the top is light golden and the filling is set. Let the quiche sit for 5 minutes to allow ingredients to set. Serve warm. This quiche can be made a day ahead, cooled and refrigerated. Before serving, rewarm in a 325˚F oven for 15-20 minutes or microwave individual pieces on power level 4 for 2-3 minutes or until warmed all the way through.
Notes
- See Café Tips above in the post for more detailed instructions and tips to ensure success.
- If you prefer to use Metric measurements there is a button in each of our recipes, right above the word “Instructions”. Just click that button to toggle to grams, milliliters, etc. If you ever come across one of our recipes that doesn’t have the Metric conversion (some of the older recipes may not), feel free to leave a comment and I will add it.
- If you don’t live int the United States, half and half is an American convenience product often used for coffee. It’s simply half milk and half cream
