Zucchini, Feta Cheese Quiche
Description
The quiche starts by pre-baking a rolled-out pastry shell to ensure a crisp base. Thin slices of zucchini with alternating strips of skin removed add subtle texture and visual appeal. The filling consists of whipped eggs, crumbled feta cheese, and heavy cream seasoned simply with black pepper. The zucchini slices are arranged in a round pattern on the pastry, then topped with the egg and feta mixture. Baking at 400°F for about 30 minutes develops a golden surface while cooking the custard fully. The result is a combination of flaky tart crust, delicate creamy filling, and tender zucchini.
Serve this quiche warm or at room temperature as a vegetarian main dish for brunch, lunch, or a casual dinner. It pairs well with simple green salads or roasted vegetables. Because of its moderate size and ingredients, this quiche suits small gatherings or families.
