Silver Queen Corn, Zucchini, and Goat Cheese Summer Quiche
Roasted Silver Queen Corn, Zucchini, and Goat Cheese Summer Quiche is easy to prepare, and fabulous for weekend brunch. It also makes a great portable lunch for the work week!
Ingredients
- 1 Pie Crust I use my Easy Flaky Buttery Pie Crust
- 2 Ears Roasted Corn, or about 1 cup frozen This recipe uses Silver Queen, though any corn can reasonably substituted.
- 1 Small Zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream, Half and Half, or Milk
- 1/4 Cup Crumbled Goat Cheese Optional. May use more or less depending on desired taste
- 6 Large Eggs
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Fresh Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shuck whole ears of corn and wrap in tin foil with a small pat of butter.
- Place wrapped corn on a roasting pan and place in oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes remove from oven and set aside to allow to cool.
- Turn oven heating down to 375 degrees.
- Slice zucchini very thinly using a paring knife or mandolin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk six eggs.
- Add the salt and pepper, cream, and goat cheese. Whisk to combine.
- Once the corn has cooled, remove from tin foil and slice from the cob. You should have 1/2 cup to 1 cup kernels.
- Add corn kernels to egg mixture and stir to incorporate.
- Pour egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, then carefully remove from oven.
- Arrange zucchini slices in circles on the top, or scatter them as you desire. Sprinkle with additional fresh ground black pepper if desired.
- Place quiche back in oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set.
Notes
*Quiche may be served hot or cold. **The goat cheese is optional, and other cheeses may also be used such as blue cheese, gorgonzola, feta, or swiss. ***Any type of sweet corn may be used. Silver Queen is just a favorite!
