• Aromatics - Onion and garlic offer a savory element and give a depth of flavor.
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper - This is all that's needed to accent the natural flavors of the ingredients without overpowering them. The feta is also salty and will season the quiche.
• Eggs - Use large eggs for this recipe.
• Greek Yogurt - This gives the quiche a tangy back note and a velvety texture.
• Heavy Cream - Adds richness while also giving the eggs a fluffy texture.
• Feta - Creamy, salty, and savory, this pairs well with the fresh herbs, corn, and zucchini.
• Fresh Herbs - Parsley brings a grassy note while dill offers up a sunny, citrusy pop.
• Cornmeal - This adds a toothsome bite to the quiche while also preventing it form sticking. This also echoes the natural sweetness of the fresh corn.
• Crushed Red Pepper - This is optional but adds a delicate hint of heat.

How to Make Zucchini Corn and Feta Crustless Quiche

Pop open the bubbly and get ready to toast to summer brunch. This crustless quiche recipe celebrates the flavors of the season with its fresh flavors and light, airy texture.

Time needed: 1 hour.

Sweet corn, tender zucchini, creamy feta, and the fresh pop of herbs make this an instant classic.

1. Mise en PlacePreheat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a baking dish and dust it with cornmeal, making sure the bottom and sides are fully coated. Discard the excess. Chop your vegetables and remove the kernels of corn from the cob.

Sauté Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and allow them to cook until the onions are translucent. Next add the corn and zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Let them cook, stirring occasionally until they're tender, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

CustardAdd the eggs, yogurt, heavy cream, and cornmeal to a bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the feta cheese and herbs. Check for seasoning.

AssembleSpread the zucchini and corn mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top.

BakeAllow the corn and zucchini quiche to bake for 40-45 minutes until it is golden brown on top, puffed, and the eggs are set.

Variations

Try swapping out the feta in this recipe for a different type of cheese. Chevre, cotija, sharp cheddar, and Gruyere are all great options.

No zucchini? Yellow squash will also work with a similar flavor profile. Scoop out the seeds first before sauteing them to make them less watery.

This is a great vegetarian dish but you can easily add an additional boost of protein with your favorite meat. Sausage, bacon, ham, prosciutto, and pancetta would all be delicious options.

Storage

This crustless quiche can be partially prepped ahead of time and then baked when ready to serve. You can cook the vegetable portion the day before and keep it stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Once your zucchini corn and feta quiche has been baked, allow it to cool completely before covering it tightly with either plastic wrap or foil. It will keep refrigerated for up to five days. It can be eaten cold, or gently reheated in the microwave. The quiche can also be reheated in the oven on a lower setting, like 325, until just warmed through.

Top Tip for Zucchini Corn and Feta Crustless Quiche

There is nothing like the fresh, slightly sweet flavor of ripe zucchini. Every once in awhile though you might come across one that is either mealy, or slightly bitter. Here are the top tips for how to pick the perfect zucchini.

• Look for zucchini that feel heavy for their size.
• Pick zucchini that are uniform in color, are dark green, and don't have any blemishes.
• You want your zucchini to be firm in texture with no soft spots.
• Avoid large zucchini as they often are watery, over ripe, and bland in flavor.
• Small to medium sized zucchini will have more of a sweet and delicate flavor.
