Feta and Zucchini Quiche

Just made some delicious quiche tonight and it was super easy.

2 Zucchini thinly sliced - (not paper thin - I just eye ball it) - with skins off (or you can leave them on, I just didn't have organic ones and didn't want to eat wax and Kezi doesn't like the skins either, so it worked)
Feta
Swiss
Onion (as much or little as you like) Sautéed in coconut oil or use fresh green onion
Garlic Salt (or salt and fresh garlic, sautéed)
Pepper
Italian Seasoning
8 -10 eggs
8tsp milk

Arrange zucchini in an 8x10 dish up the sides as well as the bottom.  Overlapping of zucchini will happen.  While onion is sautéing, shred swiss cheese and put on top of zucchini with the crumbled feta (or you can just use feta).

I put the eggs and milk, garlic salt and onion in my mixer and liquefied it and then poured it on top of the zucchini/cheese.  I sprinkled a bit of Italian seasoning and pepper (which you could just add to the mixer - or use cayenne for an extra zingy kick) and cooked in a preheated oven at 350 for 30-40 minutes.  You can add more cheese and allow it to melt for the last 5 minutes - but I don't.

Here'a  variation that I LOVE (but I didn't have all the ingredients this time):
Use Feta only (and lots of it!)
Greek Olives chopped or sliced
Spinach, chopped
Tomato, chopped
Sprinkle the last 3 ingredients after you pour the mixture into the dish (gives it a nice color and presentation).
Then cook as stated above.

This is a great recipe b/c you can play with it and add or take out anything that suits your fancy (mushrooms, red/green/orange/yellow peppers,

We serve with avocado (for your good fats) and crispy tortillas (grilled to a crunchy perfection) or with a slice of sprouted grain toast - YUM!

Note:  Don't even consider changing the eggs to egg beaters...read up on it - super BAD for you - oxidized and so unhealthy.  Find Farm Fresh eggs if you can in your area...check Craigslist...eggs are a complete protein and truly the incredible, edible egg!
