You can swap out the zucchini for yellow squash. It will change the overall flavor of the dish but yellow squash can easily be swapped out.

Variations

When it comes to cheese, the recipe calls for cheddar cheese and Parmesan, but you can always swap it out for other types of cheese, such as mozzarella.

• Add Vegetables - add tomatoes, peppers, and other veggies to the quiche, Just chop them small and add them to the batter just as the onion is added,
• Change the cheese amount - Make it as cheesy as you want it by reducing or adding to the amount of cheese in the dish.

Equipment

A deep dish pie plate is important to have for this recipe - it should be deep enough to hold all of your ingredients. Glass or ceramic pie plates are typically the best choice, as the quiche will brown and cook more evenly than using a metal pan.

A box grater will come in handy when preparing your zucchini for the quiche. While you can grate zucchini using a box grater, a food processor will make this step quick and efficient if you desire to have shredded zucchini instead. The food processor will come in handy when chopping the onion for this recipe as well.

Lastly, nonstick spray or oil is crucial when it comes to preparing your pie plate for baking. This will prevent the quiche from sticking to the bottom of the pan and will help create clean-cut slices and prevent stuck food on the dish.

With these essential pieces of equipment in your kitchen, you'll be well on your way to creating a delicious Bisquick Zucchini Quiche that everyone will enjoy.

Storage

Storing your Bisquick Zucchini Quiche properly is important to maintain its freshness and taste.

To prevent your quiche from getting soggy, allow the freshly baked quiche to cook and cool down to room temperature before covering and storing. Once it is cooled, it can be covered tightly to lock out moisture and keep it fresh.

In the refrigerator, the quiche will keep fresh for about 3 to 4 days.

To freeze the quiche, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place it in a freezer-safe container or a resealable plastic bag. When frozen properly, the quiche will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

When ready to serve, remove the quiche from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator before baking it at 350ºF for about 25 minutes, or until it is heated through.
