Zucchini 3-Cheese Quiche

"Everyone will enjoy this. Especially cheese lovers. I use a full cup of cheddar, 1/2 cup swiss and provolone or mozzarella for the rest. Any combination will do. I cobbled this recipe together from several that I enjoyed."

  1. Very good i really like this one and will make it often especially when i entertaine the ladies.
     
  2. I read about this on a forum for ways to have "main dish squash recipes." This had a wonderful French/Italian flavor. I used reg mozz and a mozz blend (provolone, parmesan, etc) and loved the taste and creaminess of it. I cooked my onions and squash until some of it browned, since I prefer it that way. When I read "deep dish" pan I used a deep cake tin, which I think the high sides of the pan kept it from rising as much as the photo. I will use a reg. Pyrex next time. Thanks Kathy, for posting!

  3. Made for dinner, but accidentally used 1/2 tsp Herbes de Provence instead of tarragon! So I put the tarragon in anyways. Don't know if the added spice changed the flavor. It was somewhat licoricy. I used 1 C cheddar and 1 C mozzarella, and 1 T margarine. I'll have to try again w/out the added spice! Didn't use the bell pepper, but would try it next time.
     
  4. Made this for dinner last night, but it would be great for breakfast/brunch. I altered the recipe a bit my using 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs and 1 1/2 cups of cheese to cut back on the calories. I also omitted the red pepper as I don't care for them and added an extra egg. It was great. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. I made this for supper last night. I liked it alot. I made some substitutions......I sprayed my baking dish with cooking spray as it didn't say how to grease it, I only used 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, but I used italian as that is what I had on hand, I didn't use the butter to saute the onions in, I used butter flavored cooking spray, I used egg substitute, 1/2 cup shredded swiss and 2 cups of shredded fiesta blend and I used 1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour, by doing these substitutes I cut the calories down a great deal and it was all very good, doing it may way I wouldn't change a thing as all the recipes I try I like to try and make them low calorie low fat and healthier for my family. I bet this would be great meal made without modifications. I'm going to try the leftover for lunch, but I think that I am going to add some tuna with it. Thanks for sharing.
