This crustless quiche combines zucchini, sweet red peppers, and mozzarella cheese for a savory treat. It makes a great addition to a brunch table, but also works well as a side dish. The secret is getting as much liquid as possible out of the zucchini. Ingredients:
2 cups shredded zucchini |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 clove garlic, minced |
2 green onions, diced |
1/2 cup diced red pepper |
1/2 cup flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
one egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup milk |
2 tbsp melted butter |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray an 8 X 8 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
3. Place shredded zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the liquid to separate from the zucchini.
5. Then strain/squeeze the zucchini dry. You want it as dry as possible.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt.
7. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, and butter.
8. 8. Stir egg mixture into dry mixture just until blended.
