Crustless Courgette Quiche – Easy and Delicious!

by Micaela Harrasser

This easy and delicious courgetti quiche is the light and nutritious pie you are looking for!

Crustless (ie, without pastry sheet), but filled with bulgur (did you know the whole grain version has an average of 10g of protein every 100g? That’s about double the amount of protein you get from your average pasta). The courgettes are lovely in this season so make sure to use them in as many dishes as you can! If they lack some taste, you can add some extra cheese 😉 enjoy!

  9. Place the cake tin in the lower part of the oven and cook until the top is golden and the inside is not wet anymore, about 30 minutes.
  10. Cool it off for about 10-15 minutes before removing it from the cake tin, and enjoy!
