Zucchini, Sun Dried Tomato, and Feta Cheese Quiche
I can’t believe that fall will be here in less than a month! Can you? As the mornings get a little cooler, I find myself wanting to do a little more baking on the weekends. And for some reason I kept envisioning zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese together and felt that they would pair well with a quiche or frittata. And I’m so glad that I did because this Zucchini, Sun-dried Tomato, and Feta Quiche is absolutely delicious!
This is a pretty mild quiche in my opinion, but the feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes do add a little bite to it. I used dried herbs, but feel free to use fresh ones if you have them on hand. When I have time, I like to make my own crust because it honestly doesn’t take that long and it tastes better, but feel free to use a store-bought crust if that works better for you. This quiche, like others that I have made are great anytime of the day and not just for breakfast. Pair a slice of my Zucchini, Sun Dried Tomato, and Feta Cheese Quiche. with a nice salad and you’ve got a great lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- ¼ cup feta cheese, more or less as you see fit, or another cheese of your choice
- 1 pinch red chili flakes, optional
- 5 small sun-dried tomatoes in oil, thinly sliced or julienned
For the Crust:
- 1 round refrigerated pie crust , homemade or use store-bought crust
Equipment
- 1 9" pie pan
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Prepare your dough, and line it in your 9″ pie baking pan and keep it cool in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. Or if you’re using a store bought crust, then be sure to keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to use.
- Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, dried Italian herbs, and red chili flakes.
- Grate the zucchini on a medium box grater. Transfer to a clean hand towel and wring out any excess moisture. (You want your zucchini to be dry or it will make your quiche too wet.)
- Transfer the grated zucchini into the lined pie baking pan and pour the egg mixture over zucchini. Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top and then evenly sprinkle the slices of sun-dried tomatoes over the top.
- Bake on the center rack, until the center has solidified and no longer easily jiggles and is slightly golden, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 to 30 minutes. It will be hard, but you can do it. Slice and enjoy.🙂
I made your Zucchini, Sun-dried Tomato and Feta Cheese Quiche for our dinner last night. My only complaint….there were no leftovers for lunch today. Following your recipe was easy and fast. I even made your homemade crust even though I have a lot of success with the Never Fail Pie Crust. I’m headed to the store after I finish this comment to get more feta so I can make your recipe again for a board meeting that I’m attending tomorrow. I know I’m going to be the hit of the potluck lunch with your Quiche. Thanks, Michelle
Aww!!! Thank you so much Lesley! So happy to read your comment and that you enjoyed it! That truly makes me happy. 🙂 All the best to you. <3
This quiche is so mouth-watering that I am intrigued to prepare is as soon as possible, Michelle! What kind of milk should I use?
Hi there. Thanks so much. I’ve used Whole or 2 % milk in this recipe.
It’s being made now…I can’t wait.
Oh wow!!! Aww…thank you so much for checking out and giving the recipe a try Dale!! Hope you enjoy it!!!
Can I avoid the work of grating and use it cubed? Thanks
Hi Susanne. Zucchini retains a good amount of moisture, so by leaving it in cubes, the quiche may turn out a bit runny, if that makes sense.
