Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a medium baking dish (8×8 or similar).
2. Mix the Egg Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
3. Add the Veggies & Bacon
Stir in the cooked bacon, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and seasonings.
4. Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
5. Rest, Slice & Serve
Let the quiche rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, or let cool completely for meal prep containers.
Tips for Success
- Squeeze the zucchini gently to remove excess moisture before adding.
- Pre-cook or sauté mushrooms and onions if you prefer them soft.
- This bakes well in muffin tins too—just reduce bake time to ~20 minutes.
