Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, shredded (about 3 cups)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion (or shallots)
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (or another 1/4 cup milk)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or a blend)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
2. Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess water. Firmly squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible; this step is crucial for preventing a watery quiche.
3. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the squeezed zucchini and cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and optional nutmeg until well combined.
5. Stir in the shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the cooled zucchini and onion mixture into the egg mixture. Taste and add more salt if needed (remember the initial salt for zucchini).
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
8. Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
