This is the quiche you can almost make from memory, because nearly everything in it is one cup. A cup of this, a cup of that, into a bowl, mix, pour and bake. No pastry to fuss with and no measuring cups full of maths.
It is loaded with grated veg, so it is a sneaky way to get vegetables into the kids, and it is just as good hot or cold. Cut it into squares for lunchboxes, picnics or an easy dinner with a salad.
It is the kind of no fuss recipe you will come back to whenever you have odds and ends of veg to use up.
Why You’ll Love It
The one cup method makes it dead easy to remember and hard to get wrong. There is no pastry, so it comes together in one bowl and goes straight into the dish, and it is packed with grated veg, which is handy for using up what is in the crisper and for getting vegetables into fussy eaters. It is good hot or cold, which makes it brilliant for lunchboxes and picnics.
The Shortcut That Makes It Work
The whole recipe is built around one cup measures, so you barely need to think. Everything except the tomato goes into one bowl in cup amounts, gets a good mix, and the self-raising flour and eggs hold it together as it bakes, no pastry base required. That is the trick, it is a crustless quiche you can throw together without a recipe in front of you.
Handy Tips
Squeeze some of the moisture out of the grated zucchini and potato before they go in, or the quiche can turn out a little wet. Give everything a proper mix so the flour and egg are evenly through it, and line your dish so it lifts out cleanly for neat squares. The sliced tomato on top is optional but it does look lovely, and letting it cool a little before cutting helps it hold together.
What To Serve With It
It is a full meal with a simple green salad. It is also great cold in a lunchbox, on a picnic plate, or cut small as a party snack.
Leftovers / How to Store It
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It is lovely cold, or warm slices gently in the oven or microwave. It also packs well for lunches.

FAQs
Can I make it vegetarian?
Yes. Leave out the bacon and add a little extra grated veg or cheese in its place. It is still hearty and full of flavour.
Can I use different vegetables?
Definitely. This is a great use-what-you-have recipe. Grated pumpkin, corn or capsicum all work, just keep the total roughly the same so the mix holds together.
Why did my quiche turn out wet?
Zucchini and potato hold a lot of water. Squeeze the grated veg well before it goes in, and give it the full baking time until it is set.
Can I eat it cold?
Yes. It is lovely cold, which makes it perfect for lunchboxes and picnics as well as a hot dinner.
I have made this twice now. It is very nice
