Directions Nana's Zucchini Quiche
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Fit pie crust into a pie dish and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until crust is golden, 8 to 10 more minutes.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes, drain. Place half the zucchini mixture in the crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Combine ricotta cheese, half-and-half, eggs, salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour ricotta mixture into crust, top with remaining zucchini mixture and sprinkle with paprika.
Bake quiche in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
