Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375F (~190C). Grease an 8-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray.In a medium-sized bowl, mix all of the ingredients of the crust together until a crumbly dough forms.

Ingredients:

Step 2: Pour all of the dough into the pie dish.

Step 3: Spread and flatten the dough on the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. The dough reached about halfway up the sides of the pie dish for me.Chop off the ends of the zucchini and spiralize it using Blade B. Give the zucchini noodles several chops. This will make it easier to cut and serve the quiche later. Chop the part of the zucchini that did not get spiralized into small pieces. NOTE: If you do not own a spiralizer, simply grate the zucchini or create zucchini ribbons with a vegetable peeler.

Step 6: Bake the quiche for 30-40 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and the quiche is browned and firm to touch.
