How to Make Zucchini Quiche

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 medium zucchini, chopped, and 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference!), to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until zucchini is tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Pour the zucchini mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
