Easy Rustic Flavorful Summer Squash Crustless Quiche (Low Carb)

The fateful summer of '15... when a 5-gallon bucket of zucchini appeared in my kitchen each morning still haunts me. My only weapon of defense has been the power of a good recipe! Having an arsenal of ideas of how to use this prolific vegetable has been my life's mission (we all have our calling! 😉). Here is how to transform your abundance of summer squash into an easy and healthy meal (and with no weird ingredients!).

All you will need is...

6 tbsp. butter
8 c. thinly sliced summer squash (zucchini, yellow squash, etc.)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
5 large eggs
4 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

(This recipe can easily be halved for an 8 by 8 pan -- with less baking time.)

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and onion. Cook and stir the vegetables until tender. Drain and cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and seasonings until blended.

Lastly, mix together the cheese, zucchini mixture and eggs with the seasonings (I told you this was easy!).

Finally, pour the mixture into a greased 13 by 9-inch casserole dish. Bake on a lower oven-rack until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean (about 30-40 minutes). The quiche should be golden on top. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.

This can be served simply with a summer salad or some rice and steamed vegetables for a full meal.
