I made this for brunch using zucchini given to me by a friend. What a treat! I made it exactly as directed using fresh basil & oregano out of my herb garden. Very easy to make and oh so tasty. Thanks for another great recipe. :-) -
My dad is known for growing GIGANTIC Zucchini in the summer, so mom and I are left with the task of finding uses for them! This recipe is a definate keeper. I made a few substitutions, but this came out great! I used 1/4 of a large white onion instead of the scallion, and cheddar & colby cheeses instead of the swiss. And dad proved, Real Men DO Eat Quiche! -
I have made this quiche several times, and each time this knocks my socks off. I'm sorry that I have taken so long to review it. Letting the squash sit to get out the extra moisture is a key step, IMHO. I made this the way it was written, and I have also made this exchanging herbs and cheeses. You cannot go wrong with the original recipe and you can't go wrong if you are feeling experimental. Thanks, Beaner for sharing! :-) -
wonderful! I could not stop eating this thank you for posting -
I doubled this recipe, used a large leek instead of the scallion and added about 1/4 of milk. It was fabulous! Lots of great flavour and I can't find a better way to use zucchini. My kids and husband loved it.

I have lived in Vancouver since 1987. I am a transplant from Minnesota. We have 3 grown sons, a wonderful daughter in law, 2 beautiful granddaughters,1 grandson 2 dogs (1 Border Collie named Molly and 1 Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix named Gulliver, that we rescued) . I am for now working in property management and still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. My job is interesting, but quite demanding! My DH wants me to quit, I would love to stay home and be his goddess. I love to be at the beach flying kites, sailing with our friends, billiards,cooking, grilling and entertaining friends and family. We downhill ski in the winter and enjoy our family and our animals . If I had a month off I would love to spend it with our family together at warm tropical destination. Just enjoy our grown children and our grandchildren. Then when that trip came to an end, I would love for my DH & I to spent some time somewhere warm and tropical all alone. I could become quite the traveler. We had some life changes last October, I lost my balance and fell. I had 2 spiral breaks in my leg, my tibia and my fibula and another small half moon break. I did have some surgery and have 3 plates and 16 screws in my leg until this coming spring in March, then I will have some hardware removed, hopefully. Had to give up some sports! But heck it could be a lot worse. My DH just started a new job! That's good news!
