Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange sliced tomatoes on paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Leave for a few minutes, then pat dry.
- Meanwhile, in a large cooking skillet, heat 2 tbsp Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add zucchini and shallots. Season with kosher salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp sweet paprika. Raise heat slightly, and sautee, tossing regularly, until vegetables are tender and nicely colored (with some brown spots on zucchini).
- Transfer the cooked zucchini and shallots mixture to the bottom of a lightly oiled 9-inch pie dish like this one. Arrange sliced tomatoes on top. Add mozzarella, and Parmesan (spread evenly across).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, remaining 1/2 tsp paprika, baking powder, flour, and fresh parsley.
- Pour egg mixture into the pie dish on top of the cheese mixture.
- Bake in 350 degrees F heated-oven for about 30 minutes or until the egg mixture is well set in the dish. Remove from oven and wait 5 to 7 minutes before slicing to serve (Quiche will puff up slightly because of the baking powder, but will quickly go down as it sits.)

EASY CRUSTLESS QUICHE
Yet another crustless quiche that is designed for a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet. It is very rich and cheesy. The Parmesan and butter on the bottom form a nice skin on the bottom that really helps. The egg and cream mixture is quite flexible and the ratio of egg to cream and the heaviness of the cream is a personal choice. The cheese can easily be replaced with any hard cheese that holds up well when shredded such as Swiss, Cheddar, Gouda, or Provolone. The meats can be replaced with anything that isn't too wet; whether it is meat or vegetable.

Steps:
- 1. Mix Bisquick, zucchini, oil, eggs, onion, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl, until it looks like thick batter. Mix by hand. Do not beat.
- 2. Pour into a greased pie plate.
- 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Prep the Zucchini Properly: To ensure the zucchini doesn't release too much moisture, slice it thinly and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then pat it dry with paper towels before adding it to the quiche.
- Use a Variety of Cheeses: Feel free to mix and match different types of cheese to create a unique flavor profile. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- Don't Overcook the Quiche: Crustless quiches cook quickly, so keep an eye on them. Overcooking can lead to a dry, rubbery texture.
- Let the Quiche Cool Before Serving: This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Crustless zucchini quiche pairs well with a variety of sides, such as salads, roasted vegetables, or fruit.
