Steps:
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a 16-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off any excess flour; fit dough into a 2-inch deep-dish tart pan with a removable bottom, gently pressing it into the sides. Using a sharp knife, trim the dough evenly with the edge of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap; chill tart shell until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line the tart dough with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Transfer to oven and bake until light brown, about 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment paper and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together 1 egg and flour on high speed until smooth. Add the remaining 9 eggs and continue mixing until well blended.
- Place creme fraiche in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth; add milk and continue whisking until well combined. Add to mixer along with salt, pepper, and thyme; mix until well combined. Strain mixture into a large bowl through a fine mesh sieve.
- Place bacon, zucchini ribbons, and cheese in prepared tart shell. Pour over egg mixture until tart shell is full (you may not need to use all of the egg mixture). Bake 20 minutes; reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and continue baking until filling is slightly firm, rather than liquid, and crust is a deep golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. Transfer quiche to a wire rack to cool until set, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. To reheat, cover quiche with aluminum foil and bake in an oven heated to 325 degrees for about 15 minutes.
SHARYN'S ZUCCHINI QUICHE
This is freezable and great to take to someone else too. I make a few and freeze them and then I can use them as needed. It's best to grate the zucchini ahead and freeze. That way by the time you use it, it'll have time to drain. They are usually very watery.

ZUCCHINI QUICHE (CRESCENT ROLL-RECIPE)
We fell in love with this recipe back at home... it even trumped pizza! It has similar spices (maybe like a "white pizza") and it's relatively fast and easy! Use smaller zucchini's not the massive garden ones... or pick them small and tender. Fresh herbs change the flavor and you must use more, but go with what you like. Served well with fresh fruit/melon and blueberry muffins. Tea rooms eat your heart out!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Melt butter with the onions and zucchini and sauté 10 min or until onions are translucent.
- While this cooks mix herbs and spices in one bowl, eggs and cheese in another.
- Add spices to the pan and mix well.
- Add egg cheese mix to pan and stir quickly.
- Line your pie pan with the crescent rolls and baste with mustard (it helps to space them like a wide spaced puzzle before you join the pieces.
- Quickly transfer to crescent roll lined pan (cheese melts quickly).
- Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden and not runny.
- Allow to cool and firm up 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which will help the quiche cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini will help it release its moisture and cook more evenly.
- Use a combination of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, will give the quiche a richer flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the quiche tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the quiche in a hot oven: Baking the quiche in a hot oven will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Let the quiche cool before serving: Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Zucchini quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for beginner cooks. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this zucchini quiche a try.
