Servings and Ingredients

Ingredients
Serves 8
QuantityIngredientAdd
2 c. refrigerated shredded hash browns
3 tbsp. Hy-Vee unsalted butter, divided
1 ¼ c. shredded zucchini
½ c. yellow onion, chopped
4 Hy-Vee large eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. Hy-Vee half-and-half
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tbsp. Italian parsley, finely chopped
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper
1 c. shredded Gouda cheese, (4 oz)
1 tbsp. Hy-Vee all-purpose flour

Things To Grab

  • Paper towels
  • Large skillet
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Medium bowl
  • Small bowl

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gently pat hash browns dry with paper towels. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add hash browns and cook until golden brown and crisp, turning once, about 12 to 14 minutes. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate.

  2. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 325 degrees.

  3. Meanwhile, pat zucchini dry with paper towels. In same skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add zucchini and onion and cook for 3 minutes or until softened.

  4. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, half-and-half, softened zucchini and onion mixture, bell pepper, parsley and crushed red pepper.

  5. In a small bowl, toss together cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well. Pour into hash-brown-lined pie plate. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into 8 wedges.

    Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
    To serve later, place each wedge in a pint-size resealable plastic bag. Seal and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw wedge of quiche, if frozen. Microwave on HIGH for 20 to 30 seconds or until heated through.
