Ingredients

4 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp butter
2 eggs
2 tsp dried parsley flakes, or 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp basil
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp pepper
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 uncooked pie crust, or use a purchased crust
non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
If not using a pre-prepared crust, prepare a pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Roll out pie crust and prepare it in the pie plate, fluting the edges.
Sauté zucchini and onion in melted butter in a large fry pan until tendercrisp but not soft.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs together with next six ingredients. Stir in cheese and sautéed vegetables.
Spread mustard over bottom of pie crust and pour egg mixture on top.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until set (you can check by inserting a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, the quiche is done). Cover crust edges with foil after 25 minutes if they are starting to brown.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting to allow time to cool.

Notes

This quiche freezes well, so it is perfect for using up loads of zucchini. There are two ways to freeze this quiche—only freeze the filling, or freeze the whole pie:

Prepare the sautéed vegetables and mix with the eggs and next six ingredients. Place in a freezer bag/container and label with the date and "Zucchini Quiche filling - Thaw in the refrigerator. Spread 1 tsp. dijon mustard in the bottom of an uncooked pie shell, add quiche filling, and bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes or until set. Cover edges of crust with foil if they begin to get too brown."
Prepare the entire recipe up to the baking part, then freeze the filling in the shell and label with the date and "Zucchini Quiche - Thaw in the refrigerator and bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes or until set. Cover edges of crust with foil if they begin to get too brown."
