These zucchini quiche muffins were created one evening when I didn’t feel like making zucchini pizza, but I wanted something similar. I didn’t use any cheese or substitute in these, but you certainly could.
For a low-carb meal, eat them alone or with coconut flour biscuits. If you’re not watching carbs, they would also be good with gluten-free biscuits or bread balls.
This recipe is easy to experiment with. If it was summertime, I would have used fresh tomatoes. I used chopped turkey bacon, but any chopped cooked meat should work. You could also try different herbs.
I recommend using farm fresh eggs and organic ingredients.

These look great, Linda! Come summertime with the excess of zucchini for many, this recipe will really be a lifesaver!

These look so good. Look forward to making them. I printed the recipe, but would love to have the picture included. Thanks!
I’m looking forward to trying these. Not only do they look great but you didn’t add cheese so I don’t have to tinker with the recipe. Thanks! Pinned.
Would these be ok to freeze? They would make a great quick breakfast!
I haven’t tried freezing them. I’m sure you could, though you might notice some difference in the texture after freezing.
What a delicious idea! these would get my kids off to a great start in the morning!
I made these last night, and they’re terrific! I substituted turkey bacon (about 10 slices, chopped). Made them for quick and easy breakfasts, but then had to have one last night for a snack to be sure they tasted okay. Then my daughter and my husband each had one for a snack, and then my daughter took some home with her…. so now I’m down to about 6 already! My husband HATES zucchini with a passion, so I peeled it before grating it, and I kind of hoped it would disappear in the middle. It didn’t disappear, but he still enjoyed the quiche muffin, and didn’t mention the zucchini, so it’s all good. : )
Thanks for sharing that with me. I can visualize it all happening! That’s how it would go at my house. I’m so glad your husband liked them despite the zucchini.
