Mozzarella Zucchini Quiche
Mozzarella, Parmesan, zucchini, and chives make this lighter version of quiche the perfect dish to bring to a summer brunch!
We never have leftovers of this dish at our house! Plus, since it’s a meatless meal, you save calories and money, without sacrificing taste at all. Win win! The key to cooking with zucchini (and baking, for that matter) is to squeeze as much water out of it as you can. You can use a salad spinner if you have one on hand, otherwise just put the shredded pieces in a colander and press down with paper towels.
