Zucchini Basil Mini Crustless Quiche

zucchini basil mini crustless quiche

I can’t believe it’s already the end of August. That means that I’m going into third year university. I still can’t believe it, I feel like I graduated high school 2 minutes ago.

At one point, I would have been dreaming about having only two years of university left, but it’s kind of scary, I’m closer to the “real world” than ever before. What scares me the most? Having to make decisions. Important decisions, which in the long run might turn out out to be pretty insignificant, but right now, they seem like the biggest deal in the world.

But I have time, two years. Maybe more, I mean, who knows. I’m always really busy when school starts because I can never do just one thing. Having a food blog is almost like having a part time job (the best part time job in the world, mind you!) In addition to a heavy course load and blogging, I’ll be shuttling back and forth to my internship. Meaning, like last year, many lunches on the go. There’s always the option to buy my lunch, but it really adds up, and it’s not as healthy as one I could have packed myself.

These Zucchini Basil Mini Crustless Quiches are one of the best things to bring for lunch. They pack a ton of protein for energy and lots of flavour. Since it’s the end of August that means we’re all swimming in zucchini and basil, and these mini quiches are the perfect way to use up all those delicious herbs and veggies. The crustless factor of these quiches just keeps things simple – I like to make a batch on the weekend and eat them for lunch a few days a week.

Yields 12 standard sized muffins

    I was wondering how long it would cook if one wanted to cook it in a pie tin...I love the potato as starch. All the other recipes used flour, even if it was gluten free I much prefer the potato since most flours aren't that healthy.

      Hi Reggie, I would try cooking this for about 40 minutes and seeing if it sets. It may need longer, but try that to start you can always put it in longer. Let me know how it goes!

    Hi Lou: This recipe looks interesting and I would like to try making it. However, we do not consume eggs. What can I sub for 6 eggs? Thanks.

      Hi Lana, Thanks for your comment! I've never tried making this without eggs but I have seen recipes that use tofu instead - you might want to give that a shot, although I've never tried it, so I"m not sure how it would work. Alternatively, I think there are some egg replacements out there that you can buy, again not sure how well they would work in this recipe though! Let me know how it goes.

    Good luck with your 3rd year university, you're almost there and don't worry too much! :) Enjoy what you love, and follow that path! Yes, I know what you mean by having a food blog = PT job, it is crazy, but once you're into food blogging, you can't let it go! :) Sending you lots of positive thoughts + encouragement!
