Zucchini Quiche (Dairy)

Contributed by Eileen Goltz

1 dough or pie shell
4 cups thinly sliced zucchini
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried whole basil
1/4 teaspoon dried whole oregano
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400. Line a 10-inch quiche dish with crust dough. Trim excess pastry around edges. Prick bottom and sides of pastry with a fork. Bake for 3 minutes; remove from oven, and prick pastry again with fork. Bake an additional 5 minutes. Saute the zucchini and onion in butter in a large skillet until tender. Remove the vegetables from the heat and cool slightly. Stir in the parsley, salt, garlic powder, basil, and oregano. In a bowl combine the eggs and cheese and then add the sauteed vegetable mixture. Spread the mustard on the bottom and sides of the uncooked pastry with the mustard. Pour the vegetable mixture into the pie shell. Reduce heat to 375 and bake for 20 minutes or until set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. 

Special InstructionsFresh basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme are often used as spices or garnishing.

Please note: Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.

INFESTATION: Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.

Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.

Recommendation: In order to determine if a particular bunch of herbs is infested prior to washing, bang it several times over a white cloth. This is most important when checking oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. If only one or two insects are found proceed with the steps below. If three or more insects are detected in a particular bunch of herbs it should not be used.
