Zucchini Alfredo Quiche! Just one delicious and easy recipe idea for using garden zucchini.
Zucchini Season
You know it's almost the end of summer when the zucchinis start showing up.
This year the end of summer is hitting me especially hard because my oldest is going off to kindergarten in a week. I'm excited/nervous. I keep going back and forth. So rather than fret about it, I've just been making a bunch of stuff out of zucchinis to keep my mind off of things.
First pineapple zucchini bread, then went a little more indulgent and made chocolate zucchini bread which my kids and hubby loved of course (OK, I did too) and now this buttery little zucchini alfredo pie.
Savory Zucchini Recipe
This time around I went the savory route but stuck the zucchini in a pie crust really just to see if I could trick my kids into eating it.
It kinda worked. Our 7-year-old neighbor gobbled it up. My kids, not so much. I'm going to go with their tastes buds haven't matured yet.
I personally found this zucchini alfredo quiche to be a perfect summer breakfast, lunch or dinner dish to eat out on the porch, savoring the last week before school starts...
I think I might need another zucchini.
Are you a fan of alfredo sauce?
Me too! I think you'll love also my easy vegetable lasagna with alfredo sauce. Be sure to check it out and pin it for later.
Need a pie pan?
I love my glass pie pans for making quiche, desserts, and well, pie! Shop glass pie pans on Amazon.
