My Zucchini and Bacon Quiche is a delicious way to use your summer zucchini harvest. Packed with fresh zucchini, basil, cheese, and bacon. Perfect to make in advance for breakfast or a quick meal.
I live in Wisconsin and our growing season is not long because of the cold winter months. I love enjoying fresh summer produce and zucchini is one of my favorite things to eat.
Typically, I make a lot of grilled zucchini in the summer as well as quick breads, like my Banana Zucchini Crumble Bread. However, I love to have a savory breakfast and something I can easily grab.
Quiche is a favorite of mine because it is easy to make and I can eat it for a few days. My Bacon and Zucchini Quiche is delicious and filled to the brim with ingredients.
I love bacon and zucchini together. Add fresh basil and some melty cheese, and I am very happy.
To save time, I typically use a frozen pie crust, but a homemade pie crust is absolutely delicious as well.
