Nana's Zucchini Quiche Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Fit pie crust into a pie dish and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until crust is golden 8 to 10 more minutes.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini carrots and mushrooms until vegetables are tender about 10 minutes; drain. Place half the zucchini mixture in the crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Combine ricotta cheese half-and-half eggs salt oregano basil garlic powder and pepper in a large bowl. Pour ricotta mixture into crust top with remaining zucchini mixture and sprinkle with paprika.

Bake quiche in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean about 45 minutes.
