Zucchinis and green chiles combine for amazing flavor in this delicious quiche recipe!

Zucchini and Green Chile Quiche | MomOnTimeout.com

I know! I know! Another zucchini recipe? I figured you guys thought we were living off of zucchini cakes, cookies and brownies so I wanted to shed a little light onto the fact that we enjoy savory zucchini dishes as well 😉  I love quiches because they are so easy to make and can be served hot, cold, or at room temperature. Easy! This recipe comes from my sister. She has made this for me a couple of times and it’s hard not to eat the entire quiche all by myself! I recently made them in a tartlette pan so it would be easier for the boys to eat (and to hopefully incorporate a little portion control). This recipe can be made in a pie plate as a quiche or you can make mini quiches by using a tartlette pan – either way they are so scrumptious!

Really ideal for breakfast, brunch or dinner. This recipe is so amazing! I absolutely love making mini quiches and the boys thing they are extra-special 🙂

Author Trish - Mom On Timeout

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 pie crusts 1 for a standard size quiche, 2 if making mini quiches
  • 1 zucchini medium size
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup shallots diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups cheese two or more kinds
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 oz green chiles 1 can - drained, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Press the crust into the bottom and up the side of the pan. Use a fork to poke holds into the bottom of the crust.
  • Bake the crust in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown. If making mini quiches - the crust will only take 2-3 minutes, for a full-size quiche, about 7 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.
  • While the crusts are baking, grate the zucchini onto a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry. Add the oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. Add in the shallots and cook until nice and soft. Add in the zucchini and turn up the heat to high. Cook the zucchini and shallots for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until nice and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Grate the cheese - I used a sharp cheddar and Dubliner cheese mix for this quiche. I've had it with Monterey Jack, pepper jack, white cheddar - ALL are good so use your favorite combination. Add in the grated cheese, cottage, zucchini mixture, green chiles, and flour mixture and beat until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the crust(s). Bake the quiche until the top is puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For the mini quiches, around 25 minutes, for a full-sized quiche, 35 -40 minutes. Let stand for several minutes before removing from pan and serving. Enjoy!

    Hello! I have made this recipe before with fresh shredded zucchini and made it without the crust and it was great. Now that it is winter I only have frozen shredded zucchini. Can I use that in this recipe? I have it frozen in portioned sized bags but was wondering what to do about the wateryness of the zucchini once it is thawed. Do I leave the water in or drain it, then how to measure?

    I am not clear on how you get the mini quiche crust. Do you use a round cookie cutter to cut into the piecrust? You stated to get 2 pie crusts if using mini quiches. Would you please explain to me how you get the crust on the mini quiches? Thank you in advance.

    Your recipe does not show you how to make the crust? Do yo’u have the recipes that you can share with me, as I am not a baker and do not know how to make a crust. Does this recipes freeze well? I am trying to get my freeze stocked for the winter, as last winter was really bad here in Illinois. If I can freeze the entre quiche, can I just freeze the mixed ingredients and crust separately? Thank you

    hello! If I use frozen pie crust do I need to adjust the cooking time and temperature? I made other quiche using frozen deep dish pie crust and it requires high temperature in the beginning for 15 m then 350 for 35m. So I wonder if it can get done for the time you mentioned above for 350 degree when I use frozen pie crust.

    Reply
    • Trish - Mom On Timeout says

      July 19, 2013 at 9:02 AM

      I would pre-bake the crust according to the package directions and then follow the rest of the recipe as written. Good luck!

    Hi! Can’t wait to try this (along with a few of your other zucchini recipes)! I was wondering if you used frozen pie crust, premade crust (like on the baking isle) or something I hadn’t considered. Also, what size pan do you use? Just a regular round cake/pie pan? Thanks! 😉

    Reply
    • Trish - Mom On Timeout says

      July 13, 2013 at 10:25 PM

      Hi Lea! I would use a Pillsbury pie crust or other refrigerated or frozen crust. For a standard quiche, you just need a pie pan. But you can really make them any size you want, the only thing you’ll need to change is how much crust is used. Great questions!

        Thanks Trish! Very excited to try this out. I think I’m going to make either your zucchini chocolate cake or brownies for my picky father’s birthday too. Not telling him there is zucchini in it until it’s all in his belly though! Lol! I love all of your zucchini recipes because my husband’s beautiful garden alway produces an abundance that is hard to keep up with. These will help a lot! 😉
