Scale

Ingredients

Pie crust (This recipe makes enough for 2. Usually I’ll freeze the other one 🙂

  • 2C Flour
  • 1C Shortening
  • 1t Salt
  • 1/2 C very cold water

Quiche

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Zucchini’s cut into very thin strips
  • 1/2 C Truffled Brie, cut into strips
  • 1/2 sweet onion chopped + 2 garlic cloves minced, caramelized and cooled.
  • S&P to taste

Instructions

Pie Crust:

  1. Mix salt and flour in a large bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixed and shortening resembles peas.
  2. Pour the water into the mixture and stir with a fork until dough sticks together in a ball.
  3. Cut dough in half and wrap the other half in plastic to freeze or use later.
  4. Flour a flat surface and roll the remaining half of dough to 1/4in. Place in a cast iron pan or pie plate and pinch or fold the edges to make a crust. Poke the bottom with a fork 8-10x.
  5. Refrigerate 20 min. Cover the dough with parchment and fill with pie weights or rice.
  6. Bake at 500F for 8 minutes to blind bake. Set aside. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)

Quiche:

  1. Set grill to 375F
  2. Spread the onion and garlic mix into the base of the cooked and cooled pie crust. Starting in the center of the crust, wrap the zucchini into a spiral and continue to add more strips until you reach the edges. (Spread the spirals out so there is some space)
  3. Wedge the Brie strips into the open spaces of the zucchini evenly.
  4. Sprinkle with S&P
  5. Mix the eggs and milk together and pour over the zucchini/cheese spiral, making sure to get the egg mix into all the empty space. Place quiche in the center of the preheated grill and cook for 40-50 minutes or until golden and center is set. Let cool slightly and serve.
