Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375℉.

Step 2

Prepare your pie crust according to recipe directions or line a pie dish with a store-bought pie crust.

Step 3

In a large skillet add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add sliced zucchini and cook for 4-6 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool while you prepare the rest of the filling.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

To assemble to the pie, add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the bottom of the prepared crust. Layer the softened zucchini on top of the cheese.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese.

Step 7

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set. If the crust edges begin to brown, use a pie shield or foil wrapped around the edge. Let the quiche sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
