I was on my own for breakfast this morning with six people to feed (including Jessie and me) and a load of zucchini. I decided to make zucchini mini quiches and they turned out so well I thought I'd better get the recipe down before I forgot it.
6 Mini Zucchini Quiches
Make one batch of double pie crust from the Joy of Cooking. Roll out 6 pieces and cut a circle to fit into each mini quiche plate. Prick each crust 3-4 times with a fork. Bake 17 min. at 370 degrees. (That's Dom's timing and temp; I suspect 20 min. at 350 degrees would work just as well.) Let the crusts cool.
Grate one zucchini. Beat 3 eggs and 1 cup of milk together. Cut up some basil leaves. Add zucchini and a couple tablespoons of basil, plus salt and pepper. Fill each crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 min. (maybe longer). Once the middle is set, add a couple tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and put back in the oven until it melts. Remove from oven and add a little paprika to look pretty.
I should have taken a picture but I was working pretty fast since my guests ate at two different times. Anyway, they were great. Obviously this recipe will work for a lot of other vegetables as well.
