Ingredients

Units Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 recipe for all butter crust pie dough, rolled out and lining a 9 or 10-inch pie plate, frozen for at least 30 minutes

For the filling:

  • 1/2 pound zucchini (about 1 1/2 cups shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced shallots or spring onions
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup cream
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs de Provence (can substitute Italian herb blend)
  • 10 basil leaves, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (3 ounces) packed, shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered

Instructions

  1. Pre-bake the crust: Heat oven to 350°F. If using a homemade pie crust, freeze it for at least 30 minutes. Line the inside of the crust with heavy-duty aluminum foil and fill with pie weights. Bake for 50 minutes.
  2. Prep the zucchini: Grate the zucchini and allow it to drain in a sieve.
  3. Cook the shallots: Saute the shallots until softened and lightly browned.
  4. Make the filling: Beat eggs, whisk in milk, cream, sour cream, herbs, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in Parmesan and zucchini.
  5. Assemble the quiche: Spread cooked shallots in the pre-baked shell, pour in the filling mixture, and arrange cherry tomatoes on top.
  6. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes until set. Let cool before serving.
