  • ¾ cup egg whites
  • ½ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp baking powder (optional, for slight lift)
  • Cooking spray for greasing the pan

Optional Add-Ins

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • 2 tbsp crumbled turkey bacon
  • Dash of crushed red pepper for heat

Equipment Needed

  • 9-inch pie dish or round baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel (for draining zucchini)
  • Grater or food processor
  • Whisk or hand mixer

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Zucchini

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt and place in a colander or cheesecloth. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze thoroughly to remove as much liquid as possible—this helps prevent a soggy quiche.

Step 3: Sauté the Onion (Optional but Recommended)

In a small nonstick skillet, sauté the diced onion over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until soft and translucent. Let cool slightly before adding to the mixture.

Step 4: Mix the Egg Base

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, pepper, and baking powder. Beat until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Add the squeezed zucchini and cooled onions to the egg mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. Fold in any optional ingredients like herbs, peppers, or turkey bacon.

Step 6: Pour into Dish

Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.

Step 8: Cool and Slice

Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes slicing easier. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a side salad for a light lunch or dinner.
  • Serve with fruit for a balanced breakfast.
  • Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or salsa for extra flavor.

Storage Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: Slice into portions, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes.

Tips for Success

  1. Squeeze the zucchini thoroughly. Water is the enemy of a firm, sliceable quiche.
  2. Use Greek yogurt instead of cream for a creamy texture without the fat or points.
  3. Add spices like Italian seasoning or cayenne to change the flavor profile.
  4. Don’t overbake. Take it out when the center is just set—it’ll continue cooking slightly as it rests.
  5. Make ahead. This quiche keeps beautifully for meal prep.

Healthy Benefits

  • Zucchini is low in calories and high in antioxidants and vitamin C.
  • Eggs and egg whites provide high-quality protein and essential amino acids.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and probiotics without the fat.
  • Cheese adds calcium and flavor, but choosing reduced-fat versions keeps it point-friendly.

Variations to Try

  • Spinach & Feta: Replace zucchini with thawed frozen spinach and use crumbled feta cheese.
  • Mushroom & Swiss: Add sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese for an earthy twist.
  • Southwest Style: Mix in diced green chiles, cumin, and pepper jack cheese.
  • Broccoli Cheddar: Use chopped steamed broccoli and extra sharp cheddar.
