Zucchini and Onion Quiche

Since we eat vegetarian Monday through Friday, it sometimes can be difficult to not get stuck in a routine of eating the same things for dinner all the time. (I can only eat so many bean burritos and veggie stir fry's). 

This prompted me to try and find something totally different to make for dinner, which proved to be more challenging than I anticipated. 

Anyhoo- I decided to make a quiche for dinner tonight! I've made them before for brunches, but usually Quiche Lorraine, which sadly would not work for my meatless meal on account of the bacon. 

So I adapted my dads quiche Lorraine recipe into a all veggie one! 

(I also need to figure out a few other things along the way since he some how left out baking times and had very few measurements...)

The recipe is as follows! Hope you try it! 

Ingredients:

-1 frozen pie crust 

-1/2 a small white onion

- 2 small zucchini 

-3 eggs

-3/4 cup whole milk

-1 clove garlic 

-~1 cup cheese (mozzarella or other)

-a pinch each of: salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, paprika. 

Directions:

-Let pie crust thaw while oven preheats to 325 degrees. Poke holes in crust with a fork to prevent bubbles. Bake crust for 10 minutes. 

-Chop onion and slice zucchini. Sauté in a pan until cooked. Add garlic. 

-In a bowl mix together eggs, milk and spices. Set aside. 

-Let crust cool 5-10 minutes. Fill with zucchini and onion about half way. 

-Cover veggies with shredded cheese the rest of the way. 

-Pour egg mixture over everything in crust. 

-Bake in the oven on a cookie sheet (in case of spills), for about 40 minutes. 

-Let cool for 10 minutes.
