OK so I didn’t have enough tomatoes to make this as written. I sort of ate the handful of ripe cherry tomatoes that I had picked for this recipe. Oops. So I added some chopped kale. That’s the nice thing about Simply in Season. They actually give you permission to make substitutions! An added bonus of that feature in this book is that after a year, I’m finally getting the hang of usual substitutions, and carrying that knowledge over to other recipes.
Oh, and an update on the Baking Mix – for those who try to avoid vegetable oil – I have some palm oil “shortening” on order and I hope to review that very soon!
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Crustless Zucchini Tomato Quiche
2 cups zucchini (chopped)
1 cup tomatoes (chopped)
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup baking mix
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 eggs
1. Place zucchini through cheese in a pie pan or casserole dish.
2. Beat remaining ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour over vegetables. Bake in preheated oven at 400F until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
Servings: 6
The Verdict: I loved it. I had forgotten to put the cheese in the bottom so I sprinkled it on top. Turned out just fine. DH ate almost the whole thing – which was probably more due to the fact that he had just cycled for two hours, but he did say he liked it.

New to the site and love it. Can I just use a bisquick for the baking mix??? and would some chedder cheese work too??
Thanks
absolutely! The “baking mix” is just a knockoff of Bisquick. Not sure if it’s really cheaper to make your own but it’s one less thing to keep in the cupboard.
And cheddar would be EXCELLENT!
Thanks for stopping by.

I think I’m going to throw this on my menu for next week! Thanks!
Yes…no crust to make! I have all the ingredients and may toss in some chopped basil. Thanks for posting…looks scruptious!
basil is a great idea!
I am book marking this recipe! We have been trying to eat healthier meal for the last month and I love discovering new healthy recipes. And who dosent need to know new ways to incorporate all the zucchini that will be coming up in all the gardens.
Visiting from SITS
Yum! this looks so summery and tasty. And perfect since I have a ton of zucchini to use up!
This looks delicious. I think, I should buy that book. Every recipe, you have shared is terrific.
I’m so glad you think so!
Thanks! I have too much zucchini, this looks like a great recipe.
Well stay tuned! Lots more zucchini recipes are coming.
Sounds Yummy! Sadly my zucchini and yellow squash succumbed to squash bugs this year. I really like the sound of this cookbook. I’m going to see if I can check it out from the library before I actually buy it… I have a little cookbook addiction!
Thanks for stopping by Single Mom in the South…glad you did so on a day I’d posted a recipe!
Hi- did you order the Spectrum natural shortening? If not what kind are you getting? I have some of the Spectrum natural- suppose to be better than crisco I think. I was just looking at that baking mix recipes this am – looks like it is a large batch so that you can have it handy.
I just made a quiche but used slices of lightly steamed sweet potato for the crust – we’ll see…
take care – Greg
Actually I ordered the Tropical traditions palm oil shortening. I have heard of the NuNatural and hope to check that out too. LOVE the idea of steamed sweet potato crust!
Looks delicious! I think these crustless quiches are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
That looks seriously good, I think I just figured out dinner!
glad I could help!
