Ingredients:

1 cup (4 oz.) grated cheddar cheese
1 cup (one medium) diced onion

Recipe



Preheat oven to 450°F. Add salt to flour. Cut butter into flour with pastry blender, two knives, or food processor until it resembles coarse meal. Add water a small amount at a time and stir or process until dough holds together in a ball. Form into a smooth ball; roll on lightly floured surface. May be wrapped and refrigerated until ready to roll. Roll into 13 in. diameter and fit into Springform Pan. Press against sides and flute. Prick crust with fork . Cover crust with waxed paper, fill with dry beans or pie weights to keep crust flat. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and fill with quiche filling. Return to oven and immediately turn temperature down to 350°F. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until quiche is brown and firm to the touch.

Quiche filling:
Mix flour, salt and pepper, stir in cheeses, onion and zucchini, add eggs and stir until blended. Pour into prepared crust.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings.
