Vegie Crustless Quiche

Well, quite simple recipe for my first, but as I said, will post them all on here. This recipe comes from a New Idea Mini book "New Family Favourites". The recipe did call form Bacon, however not having any, I used some corn kernels just to bulk it a bit (plus I love corn in quiche!). 
Was looking for something to cook my hubby for tea that is easily reheated or even eaten cold for those damn late shifts :P. Quiche covered both of these and was pretty simple stuff. Plus I only just got the book so wanted to try something from it >_<


Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini grated (excess juice squeezed out)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 6 button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 large carrot grated
  • 3/4 cup self raising flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup skim milk
  • 1/3 cup parmesan 
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Stuff to do
  1. Grease a 20cm cake tin very well and line base with baking paper. Pre-heat oven to 180C. 
  2. Cook onion and garlic in a little olive oil until onion is soft. Add mushrooms & corn and cook on a high heat, stirring until softened. Add zucchini and carrot. Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat. 
  3. Beat eggs and milk in a large bowl. Stir in flour (no need to be sifted, just mix well). Add Vegie mix, parmesan & parsley. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined. Pour into prepared pan.
  4. Cook, uncovered for about 40 mins (check at about 35 mins) until set and golden.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before turning out of tin, otherwise you'll end up with scrambled eggs >_<
*Tip: always check your cooking as ovens do vary. Mine took the whole 40 mins, which is unusual for my piece of crap oven.
